Unpredictable yet unforgettable, oh, what a strange year it’s been! Time to sit back and get lost with a deliciously hazy IPA. With its golden straw color, crisp tropical aroma, and the crave-able flavors of fresh citrus, stone fruit and a hit of IPA dankness, it truly is the perfect distraction.

15 June 2024. Tasting with Tim & Anke; many thanks to the former for hosting & sharing the can!
Hazy ochre, stable, foamy, white head, with sediment. Aroma of mango, pineapple juice, papaya, vague banana, lychee, fruit cake. Taste has sweetish mango & peach, bitter orange pith over a biscuity & cake-like malt base, bit perfumey and dank. Floral hops in the finish, lingering bitter citrus peel and juicy mango. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Very good, decent for a UAE tick.
