On tap at Makro Beer Fest in Ljubljana. Pours hazy orange, topped with a larger white head. Gentle tropical fruity nose with some weird hemp feeling. Starts very sweet, fruity and resiny. Mild bitterness. Feels a bit too messy to me.

Tap at Salon piva. Full body and a definite milky texture and feeling. Loads of flavour, packing a punch. Loads of juicy exotic ruitiness, moderate bitterness. Starts sweetish, finishes dry. Quite good.

Can. Galaxy, Citra, Nelson Sauvin, Summer and Simcoe hops. Very hazy orange - gold beer, big pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, good fine minerally crispness. Thin malts bring a decent sweetness, thin dry cream. Interesting and engaging contrast between some bitterish marmalade and sweetish vanilla. Big strawberry ensues, loud and clear, even my missus picked it out blind. Little pine. More strawberry milkshake on the crisp finish, but still with that bitterish marmalade undertone holding the sweetness in check. Very drinkable.

330ml can. Opaque orange with a big frothy orange-tinted head. Aroma of sweet vanilla and strawberry ice cream, mango, passionfruit. Taste is like a thick, sweet, creamy milkshake - vanilla and strawberries, mango, loads of lactose, there is a light bitterness in the finish. Thick creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. One of the best executed milkshake IPAs I've had, really fun beer. Wouldn't want more than one though!

Keg at the Cock Tavern - Hackney. Pours murky orange with a small, foamy white head. Ripening citrus in the snout, tangerine meringue, papaya. Medium young sweet flavour with plenty of pale bread, vanilla ice cream, chewy citrus, golden raisins, white grape, moderate piney and rindy bitterness. Medium to full bodied, lightly oily, with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, lightly warming, some vanilla and strawberry, more ripening citrus, rindy bitterness. Fun novelty. Pretty well executed.

Can, 0.33l. Thick orange pour, two finger frothy off-white head. Medium retention, lasting thin layer on top. Beautiful nose, very fresh and clean. Notes of pine, passion fruit and mango. Solid herbal backbone. Medium body, soft carbonation. Soft texture, very smooth on the tongue. Pleasant taste, medium sweet with a touch of mild bitterness and some citrus tart. Aroma also very nice, strong fruity character with notes of passion fruit, pine, mango and lime. Herbal. Oats in the background. Somewhat grassy. Medium lasting finish, mildly bitter with solid herbal aftertaste. Overall, very tasty brew. Nicely balanced and highly drinkable. Refreshingly juicy and tasty. Nice one.

On tap at the brewery. Hazy dark yellow with medium white head. Tropical fruit, strawberry, vanilla, bitter finish. Sweet in the middle, moderate carbonation, medium bodied. Aroma bit artificial, but so fun, not so much fun in taste

On tap at Valhalla, Zagreb. Murky golden to dark golden, small off-white head. Intense blueberry or blueberry yoghurt aroma. Fruity. Strawberry and vanilla. Candy slightly fake-ish. Light bitterness. Medium body, moderate carbonation, moderate finish. Interesting, but not bitter for an IPA.
