Cloudy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth dry malts, a reasonable creamy sweetness. Smooth creamy sweetness. Little pine. Modest spice. Slighty tangy citrus, dry and somewhat pithy. Light grapefruit peel. Touch of ripe citrus. Semi dry spicy finish. Quite a clunky dipa by Wylam standards. It's tasty if dry and ripe.

Tons of citra hops, unripe peaches, melon, unripe tropical fruit. Decently-well balanced, with just a bit of hop burn. Nice one! 4.0

Draft. An unclear yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of lemons, exotic fruits, hops, straw, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of lemons, exotic fruits, hops, alcohol, spices, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Keg at Bunkers Hill, Nottingham. Light golden yellow, cloudy. Tropical and citrus notes. Slightly bitter taste, and the bitterness I creases to an intense dank hoppy finish. Thick flat body. Wow.

Can picked up at Kihoskh, Copenhagen - pours a hazy yellow to orange with a white head. Fruity juicy with notes of grapefruit, tangerine, papaya, smooth mouthfeel, medium body, robust hoppy into the close.

Can. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Dirty, orange gold. Fully hazy. Skim of white. A little leggy. Nose has mucky cryo hop. Some pithy citrus. Stone fruit esters. A bit gluey. Some alcohol. Taste is a bit sweet and boozy, with some fairly harsh, cryo hop bitterness. Medium body. Low carbonation. Touch of acidity. Harsh bitterness to finish. Not up with some of Wylam’s latest stuff.

Bij Wylam kunnen ze dingen. Jammer van dat bittere. Mooi troebel wel. Echt een klasse beter dan de juice punch v7.

Can from Cork & Cask. Milky golden body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of cantaloupe, spring onion and underripe mango. Flavour of sweet potato and a hint of hop burn. Medium body with a creamy texture. Light fizz. Soft and fruity with a light savoury edge.

Keg @ IndyMan 2018. Pours misty yellow, white topping. Light tropical nose. Smooth milky textures. Taste is soft tropics, a bit cheesy, soft citrus, dank tropics, smoothie juice, medium bodied. Decent, enjoyable juicy IPA.
