(Draught at Kernel Taproom Spa Road, London, 23 Nov 2024) Hazy golden yellow colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with tropical fruit, citrus, resin and herbs. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, tropical fruit, pineapple, grass, peaches, resin and a generous citric/herbal bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Rich, hoppy and solid IPA, with a fresh hop presence. Very nice.

Tap at Tilt, Birmingham. Hazy light gold with foamy white head. Notes of grapefruit zest, gooseberry, papaya, pine, mid-dankness. Quite a grassy bitter finish. Medium bodied, semi-drying, fine carbonation. Nice punchy resinous NZ pale with the fruitiness still on show.

Bottle from the beer shop, St Albans. It pours cloudy golden - orange with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, bright, tangy, lovely tropical fruit vibes, mango, peach, papaya, fanta, orange sherbet, five alive fruit juice and fizzy pineapple chunks. The taste is firmly dry, rather bitter stuff, pithy, zesty, bitter orange peel, campari, tangerine, kumquat, peaches & cream, orange creamsicle, fanta, five alive fruit juice, touch of minerality, green edge, piney and soft doughy white bread. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Super fruity stuff. Tasty.
