We have taken our original Halcyon recipe, already known for its huge hop profile, and turned it up to 11!
It pours with an alluring light gold haze and the aromas radiate from the glass carrying forth flavours of peach and mango. The bitterness has been softened just a little, creating a pillowy mouthfeel and really allowing the complex and layered tropical flavours to take centre stage

Day 14 of the Fin curated calendar for Loz, had this at home making Cannelloni, after a 15-16km loop walk from the house to Brotjackelreigel and the Steinberg Skilift. We're listening to Pôt-pot - Warsaw 480km. Pours hazy mid yellow with a mid sized white head. Nice mouthfeel, soft, good carbonation. Very easy drinking for the above, hoppiness shines through but on a bed of sweetness, the bitterness builds slowly. There's a nice light tropical fruit touch. Simple but very good. Score 7.4

440ml can from ASDA in Watford. A slightly hazy golden coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, orange, grapefruit, pine, slight caramel taste/aroma. Pleasing bitterness in this one which works well. An enjoyable DIPA and it is also available in ASDA at a sensible price when compared with Thornbridge online shop.

Can from Asda Supermarket, Manchester. Yellow colour showing a carbonation and has a head. Tropical fruit aroma, although its strength almost wipes this out in taste, edging towards bubble gum flavours.

Can, 7.4%. Good grapefruity hop aroma. Cloudy golden colour. Ok stable white head. The flavour is fruity with a clean bitterness. Ok malt note. Refreshing but flavourful. Warming alcohol finish.
