440ml can. Hazy golden yellow, stupidly oversized white head - there's really no need for this much foam. Aroma of ripe fruits, orange and mango, pine, grapefruit. Taste is very fruity, orange and mango, grapefruit, sweet malts, bit of marmalade, pine, bittersweet hoppy finish. Medium bodied. Like the previous two ratings this one definitely grew on me after a while.

Keg at Fierce Abz. It pours orangey - blonde with a medium, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, green, weedy, dank, white grape, melon, touch of tropical Hubba bubba, sappy pine, pithy, zesty citrus and some marmalade. The taste is dry and firm upfront, green, weedy, peppery spice, waxy citrus peel, grapefruit, green fruits, greengage, gooseberry, melon, fruit salad sweets and a nip of booze with a dangerously smooth finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Quite surprised by the previous lacklustre ratings, as I rather like this one. Quite a lot to it once it opens up.

On tap at Fierce Beer - Edinburgh, pours a hazy pale golden blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out tangy hops, some citrus, green melon, and biscuity malt. Flavour is a bit harsh, with melon, piney hops, tanginess and booze. It's like they just poured vodka into a regular cold IPA to boost it up to imperial territory. Boozy and lacking the depth I'd want in the style. Not all that great.
