Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is juicy fruity hops, tropical fruits, mango, citrus, orange, and some malt. Flavour is moderate sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Nice juicy stuff, but lacks some of the weedy dankness I associate with NE IPA.

On tap at Small bar. Hmm. Yet another juicy hazy thing? Sounds like I should switch to dark beers as I barely find a difference now.

Can. Citrus and grassy hops in the shyish aroma. Malty yet dry citric flavor with oily herbal grassy hops. Nice and juicy.

16/11/2018. Draught at the Old Ticket Office, Cambridge. £5.60 for a half. Really? Pours cloudy/murky yellow/gold with a foamy white head. Aroma of hops, tropical fruit, citrus. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Quite dry and increasing bitter finish.

Keg at Old Ticket Office, Cambridge. Murky orange colour, white foam head leaving lacing and orange citrus hop aroma. Taste is juicy orange balanced with pale malts and fruity hoppy notes. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry fruity hop finish. Quite drinkable.
