The expert selection of hops (Idaho 7, Amarillo, Azacca, Simcoe & Mosaic) creates a great juicy flavour: mango, peach, passion fruit and grapefruit! The tropical flavour is balanced with a backbone bitterness. Naturally hazy to lock in those punchy flavours!

0,44 boks fra The Mossy Well via min importkoffert: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer. Søte clementiner, tropiske frukter (pasjonsfrukt?), grapefrukt og litt fersken. Mild bitterhet og noe papayaaktig i avslutningen, og enda et nytt engelsk bryggeri for meg.

Can at The Falcon (JDW), Wycombe. Lightly hazed gold with a white head. Sweet, juicy tropical fruits - mango and pineapple and peach - in a lightly sticky, resinous mouthfeel. Mild bitterness in the boozy finish. Could be said to be a tad too sweet, but I enjoyed it. Yeah, nice one, easily the best I've had from this brewer.

Can at the Crown Rivers LHR T5, 15/11/24. Moderately hazed amber with a well presented egg shell white head that stays for the show. Nose is caramel, orange peel, malt forward, bubblegum. Taste comprises grapefruit, bitter orange, grass, caramel malt, citric tinged straw. Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, semi drying close spiked with mellow juice laden hop bitterness. Okay entry level kind of an IPA ... touch of wanna be craft affair about it.

440ml can on 25th October 2024, The Robert Fitzharding (a Spoons in Bristol). Slight haze in my pour, golden in colour, white crown. Tropical fruit aroma and taste, fairly bitter too. Boozy and fine!

Can. Clear deep gold beer, good cream colour head. Airy palate, smooth, decent fine carbonation. Fairly sweet malts, creamy sweetness getting mildly milky. Hops bring crisp pine and even a little hop spice. Ripe citrus and a little candy fruits. A light finish leave a decent fruity linger. Not bad, just dial down the malt sweetness a bit and dial up the hop bitterness.

Can. Appearance - golden amber with a very slight haze. Foamy white head. Nose - dank, orange and mango. Taste - tangy orange marmalade, mango skin. Palate - close to medium bodied with a bit of sticky sweetness. Some cleansing on the finish though. Overall - quite nice.
