Right. Sweet, juicy and tropical fruity with some orange notes, citrus, grapefruit and herbal grassy vibes. Slightly unbalanced, too sweet for my taste.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a nice level of creamy sweetness. Cooling pine into that Riwaka tropical fruits vibe, those less common tropical fruits. Mild Motueka lime. Hop spice starting to nibble and not letting go. Background is that broad spectrum Idaho 7 goodness. Crisp hop spicy finish. Nicely done could drink a lot of this one.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 14/12/24. Murky orange topped with a big ole billowing white cap. Nose is raw citric flesh, mixed tropicana, dank spike, weed, pissy green berry snap, grass, pine resin. Taste carries a fuck off Riwaka face slap, pine needle, dank bite, gooseberries, stone fruit, cactus, dank bite, grapefruit, grape must. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with grassy come resinous Riwaka laden hop bitterness allied to a subtle boost. Top drawer DIPA ... just needs some 'onion' clown to drag the score down ... if that's you don't rake ... a rake is not a rake ... it's a fucken weakness!!!

Can @ Kihoskh, Copenhagen. Pours hazy deep rather ugly muddy greyish yellow with a thick lasting white head on top. Delicious fruity dank tropical nose and flavor. Super smooth and soft. It feels right and every sip is precious.

16oz can from HAUL!. Hazy yellow pour, persistent foamy white head. Funky, almost dank aroma, overripe fruity. Luscious in the nose. Taste is bready, stone fruit, tropical notes. Creamy feel, so many complimentary flavors swirling around. Hard to nail down, but really delicious.
