Wheat meets hops! A smooth and silky mouthfeel with tropical fruit flavours and aromas. A long bitter finish with notes of grapefruit pith and spice.

500ml bottle from Rise, Bridport. Misty glowing golden orange, good white foamy white head. Tropical hop fruit on the nose. Entertaining juicy tropical IPA character. Some pineapple and mango, which I'm assuming is from the hops, doesn't really elaborate on the label. Decent Dorset IPA

Cask at GBBF�17, day one, 08/08/17. Lightly hazed golden blonde with a decent off white head. Nose is peach, tangerines, straw, toasted grains, light bread dough. Taste comprises raw pineapple, tangy citric peel, sharp orange, straw. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Ok but lacks balance ... a touch raw in places.

Cask, half-pint, shared with Finn attending Beeriodical at Seven Stars. Crocheted lacing, dissipating white head, hazy, warm golden body. Dried fruity nose, hints of apricot. Blended taste of lemony hops, apricot and moderate caramel sweetness. Mid-sweet fruity ending. Just alright. (Bristol 01.05.2017).
