0.355 l bottle from 'Sterk Avondverkoop', bottled in February 2023 (!). Slightly hazy, golden yellow with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, quite fruity-fruity-floral, slightly resiny aroma of passion fruit, pineapple, gooseberry and some pine. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, rather fruity-floral and a bit resiny taste of passion fruit, mango, pineapple, gooseberry and some pine, followed by a short, moderately bitter finish. Medium body, smooth but quite effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Quite good for a two-year-old IPA, would have loved to try a fresh one.

$2.75 single from Mills River. 10/14 canning. Pint glass at home. Clear, medium pale gold, sticky residual head. Soft floral nose, sweet pine, a bit restrained & humble. Thin & sugary. Clean resin, sweet fruit, white grapefruit pith, white onion, potpourri, all kinda soft & balanced floral. Quite thin malt backbone. Super thin, soft acid, enough citrus to keep it going, slight abv warmth. Kinda okay.

Panda at home, thanks to Sir Kenneth of Essex, 26/10/24. Copper pour with a lasting light egg shell white head. Nose is orange peel, melon, airy malts, grass, mandarin. Taste comprises orange pith, melon, grapefruit, soft malts, papaya, light pine needle. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with balanced light juice laden hop bitterness. Decent enough easy drinking IPA.

Can. A very light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly white head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally crispness. Light malts, modest sweetness. Hops bring light cooling pine, reasonably bright citrus with a mild undertone of pith. Some modern Mosaic candy fruits on the back end. Light and semi dry finish. Strewth! It's quite novel to have such a clean IPA these days!

12oz bottle. A pretty solid IPA. Mosaic and Citra come through big, Simcoe gives it some balance. Deep peach, mango. Wouldn't mind a little more bitterness, but overall a pretty enjoyable beer.

Pours clear gold. This hoppy smelling brew has a solid resinous bitterness with tropical fruit and some caramel malt. It’s medium bodied. Easy drinking.

Bottle from Sierra Nevada UK Webshoppe. It pours golden - amber with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, fresh, green, tropical fruit punch, peach, mango, melon, star fruit, twist of lemon - lime citrus and a touch of biscuit. The taste is firmly dry, pleasing bitterness, green, gooseberry, white grape, touch sappy, resinous, tropical fruit vibes, mango, peach, passion fruit, twist of orangey citrus, lime, biscuit, light spice and a touch of alcohol with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Flavourful, balanced and super moreish. Chuggable even.
