16 ounce can. Hazy pale gold color. Large pillowy white head leaves spotty lacing. Zesty berry, grape must and citrus aroma. Flavor is a ditto on the nose. Added notes of tangerine, white wine, pineapple, pear and lemon zest. Mostly sweet, but a tinge of bitter pine creeps in at the end.

13th July 2024 Can. Hazy orange gold beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light pale malts, a lovely light creamy sweetness, perfectly pitched. Hoppage is a total delight. Light pine, lovely bright tangerine and mandarin overlay a little mango led tropical fruits. Hop spice and bright pine rised shotgun throughout. Touch of Azacca like lemony tangerine and mandarin on the end with the hop spice ramping up. A light but appreciated savoury hop underneath. Long hop spicy linger. Magnificent! Bright, juicy, multi faceted, spicy, light, crisp, very drinkalble. That would be rather good then.

Can. Little Leeds online. Dark custard. Sticky leggy white swede. Nose has overripe pineapple and melon. Sticky malts. Taste is super sweet with a pithy citrus bitterness. Smoothie like mouthfeel. Fine carbonation. Moderate juicy bitterness to finish.

473ml can. 2022 version. Murky yellow, small white head. Aroma of papaya, passionfruit, mango. Taste is like tropical fruit juice, pulpy papaya, mango, passionfruit, gooseberries, dank weedy herbaceous notes, pithy grapefruit bitterness. Full bodied, thick, smooth. Fantastic DIPA. And great to see artwork from the UK's own @thecraftdiaries on the label this year.
