An island getaway, hopped for ripe aromas and flavours of stone fruit, citrus, honey comb and pine. Medium bodied with a driving bitterness from hops and giving off a hearty warmth sensation. An overall crisp flavour profile for the ultimate enjoyment.

Cardiff Mini-break Beer#46. I've reached Birmingham on the way home and found this golden carbonated keg pour, with plenty of body. Quite a hoppy brew, a few sugars are released, nothing particularly fruity, but it's fine.

Keg pint on 14th September 2024 at the Cock Hotel. Bright golden pour, soft white crown of tight bubbles. Citrussy front with a decent bitterness, rather 'fizzy' though.

Clear gold, maybe just a hint of haze, with a bubbly white head. Soft tropical fruit on the nose, quite fizzy with fruity notes, some dry bitterness and maybe just a hint of pine

Keg @ Henry Tudor Inn. Pours clear pale gold, white head. Tropical lilty nose. Nicely tropical bubblegum-sweet character, medium bodied, crisp carbonation. A nice fruity IPA but marked down for not hitting the West Coast style as advertised.
