440ml can. Murky golden, white head. Aroma is fruity, herbal, and very mild onions. Taste is fruity, tropical and citrus, grapefruit, passionfruit, peachy, herbal, a little dank, mild savoury notes, decent bitterness. Medium bodied. Very rare to see an all English-hopped NEIPA, I've found them to be very lacklustre in the past. But I was impressed with how well this one came together, extremely flavourful!

Can ordered from the brewery. Aroma has bitter stone fruit and and wood. Hazy pale orange. Frothy white head doesn't quite provide full coverage. Medium bitter. Resinous. But followed by stone fruit and spice. Dry. Thick bodied. Oily. Average prickly carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. OK.so essentially a NEIPA but with English hops and slightly restrained in the vein of one if those not overly hoppy IPAs from an old school UK brewery. Albeit this is hoppy. Like the othe collab in this series it's ultimately nice but overly polite.
