Can at St Marteen, kind courtesy of mansquito. Pours murky golden with a white head. Nose is huge fruit punch, packed with cantaloupe, citruses and apricot. Taste is also fruity and sweet upfront, but then it also shows rather intense hoppyness, and the fruits are very well incorporated in the base beer - the fruits are hard to tell apart from the hops and vica versa, it’s outstandingly well balanced. Closes with a long lasting juicy, fruity, and somewhat bitter hoppy finish, it’s got a full, smooth body and soft carbonation. Generally not a fan of fruited IPAs but damn this is a truly excellent example of the style. Oh and also proof for me that every style can be done well, some are just harder to nail.

Can from Matt: pours light bright yellow with white head. Aroma is citrus fruit juice, some tropical fruitiness. Reads almost like an IPA shandy but in a good way. The added fruitiness is a necessary component of this beer and is not a pointless added extra. Quite nice.
