440ml can. Hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of tangerine, mango, peach. Taste is very citrusy, tangerine, grapefruit, lemon/lime, mango, peaches, a little piney hop spice at the end. Medium bodied. Excellent NEIPA, especially so for a core range.

440ml can from Left Field Beer, Solihull. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a big, lasting, frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, tropical citrus, stone fruits. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a super fresh, smooth, light piney, juicy orange tangerine, light pineapple, light dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light and slightly thin pale malts, a decent creamy sweetness. Light cooling pine hops over an almost skittles like fruity hop array, would have said Zappa in here if I didn't know better. Light bright and reasonably juicy citrus, juicy orange, tangerine and mandarin. Well integrated tropical fruits. All comes together in a rather wonderful hop fruity symphony and orchestrated by a nibbly hop spice. Nice one.

[44cl can from Ruby Wines, Englefield Green.] An opaque, murky amber pour with a thick white head; aroma of grapefruit and pine resin; sharp grapefruit and lemon taste with a milkshake body; and a clean crisp zesty citrus finish with lasting bitterness. Very good.

Can from Seasons, Windlesham. Aroma combines bitter citrus with sweet stone fruit, grapefruit and peach. Also pine. Hazy pale orange. Thin creamy white head. Medium bitter. Tangy stone fruit sour edge tempered by underlying fruit sugar sweetness. The bitterness is more pronounced into the finish and develops a resinous streak. Light-medium bodied. Slick with a slightly pithy mouthfeel. Average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. The brewery blurb mentioned that this was a beer that people had asked if they were brewing it again and to be fair that would be justified. A fruity NEIPA with a good dose of bitterness.
