A vibrant, golden, juicy IPA, brewed with speciality ingredients to hit the sweet spot between fruitiness and hop bitterness. Big, tropical hop aromas, low fizz and golden haze.

This is nice enough but has not an especially pleasant aftertaste.

Cask at the The Antelope, Tooting 10/08/2024 Bright citrus and tropical fruity aroma and taste, some zesty citrus peel, tangerine and mango, juicy, light malts, nice body and soft cask carb mouthfeel, bitter hoppy finish. Pretty decent for a Sharps and great condition.

Half-pint, gravicask, shared with Finn at The International Brewing & Cider Festival 2024. Low white head, misty golden body, clingy lacing. Mid-sweet aromas of dried fruits and soft malts. Ripe citrus fruits, apricot, and mid-sweet malts to the taste profile. Malty-fruity ending notes. Fair enough. (Manchester, 23.03.2024).

Delt med Rune på The International Brewing & Cider Festival 2024, Manchester. Mørk stråfarget. Litt ukar. Boblefilmskum. Aroma av søt frukt. Smaken søte plommer. Bare det. Lett tørr avslutning.

Slightly hazy gold with a small frothy white head and a soft sweet citrus aroma. Biscuit malt up front with a sharp citrus kick and a dry, bittersweet finish

Cask @ The Old Bell Tavern, London. Cloudy yellow orange with a proper white head. Aroma and taste of peaches, malts and apricots. Low bitterness. Low carbonation. Ok but I’m not sure a NEIPA benefits from being served from a cask.
