Eyes closed, mouth open, chunky gulp of golden ambrosia, Boom...you're in a tropical paradise (for extra impact, scatter hot sand about your feet.) This exceptional Pale Ale is dry-hopped into oblivion to deliver a mighty smash of grapefruit, lychee, passionfruit, mango and pineapple (seriously).

Keg @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours golden orange, small white head. Aroma has fruity orange tendencies. Taste has a similarly fruity character with some jammy apricot, citrus, grapefruit with a soft bitterness. Nice.

Cask at CBC, Clerkenwell on 18th August 2017. Hazy amber with shallow off-white foam and initial lacing. Intense hoppy and yeasty aromas. Tropical fruits and grapefruit hoppiness in-mouth, and a citric finish that becomes increasingly bitter. Plenty of body and a zingy mouthfeel. Absolutely superb.

Bottle thanks to Stuu666. Appearance - hazy golden amber with a decent thin head. Nose - grapefruit and fresh sweat. Taste - oranges and general fruit salad things going on. Peach finish. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a dry balanced finish. Overall - very well balanced, not too bitter.
