Can, from one of the BD bars in Leeds. Hazed, pale gold. Leggy and viscous, thin, white head. Nose has stewed citrus. Lots of grapefruit. Soft, boozy esters. Bit of a ripe white grape thing. Taste is a little sweet, with an estery, boozy bitterness. Medium body. Fairly rich, but not necessarily to the tune of 9.5%. Nice bitterness to finish, cleaning up the estery and boozy character really well.

(473ml can sample @ Ibis Gare Midi share, Brussels, May 1/18...cheers Al!) Pours very hazy deep gold with a white head. Notes of juicy pit fruit, mixed citrus (tangerine, grapefruit), mango, lightly sweet pale malt, grassy hops, a bit candied but with a hint of spiciness in the finish. Mid sweet overall, low bitterness, hint of alcohol. Medium-full body, fluffy, softly carbonated. Not quite as good as Double Scatterbrain but still very nice, probably underappreciated as it was quite late in the tasting.

16th April 2018. Monthly Shrewsbury Beer Exchange in Chez Sophie. Cheers Simon for this 16 Fl Oz can. Interesting brew, poured a misty yellow with a white head. Tropical fruits abound in both the aroma and taste, too many to pick out one fruit from the rest. Liked it.

Sixteen fluid ounces of liquid @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, April 18, courtesy of Simon. Pours misty golden yellow, medium white head. Lusciously fresh exotic nose, taste follows with hi-jus exotics, fairly sweet, low bitterness, extremely light carbonation contributing to a dangerous drinkability. Dunno how I feel about this current mouthfeel trend, nice for one I guess.

On tap at Brewdog Soho. thanks to Ken. Cloudy tangerine colour. Big tangerine aroma. It's big some dank but mostly a sweet tangerine satsuma dipa. It's big but doesn't taste it. Not as good as 2 before but still wet your pants good.

Keg at the Brewdog Soho. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, good fine carbonation. Smooth swestish malts, touch of creamy sweetness. Nice light pine and hop spice. Spicy tropical fruits. Sweet candy spicy tropical fruits. Light spicy finish. Another hugely drinkable dipa from this brewery. Little savoury edge. Lovely.
