So, you’re one of these people that’s stuck in your own bubble and fail to see past the end of your own nose? Well get stuck into this juice bomb of an IPA with bags of Galaxy and Citra hops with a decent hit of real fruits and lactose for a creamy mouthfeel. This hazy reality is better than you thought, eh?

Can from Morrisons, Sheldon, Birmingham. Interestingly, the use of balanced flavorings rather than fruit or fruit concentrate works well here. I've had my fill of green funky mango fruit beers but there is none of that here. The hops are allowed to come through. Just a very tasty beer. Look: Semi-hazed dark gold with consistent white top. Nose: mango and passionfruit come through well, not overbearing, floral and citric notes also. Overall quite aromatic but in a fresher way than pot pourri. Taste: Passionfruit and citric peel notes, creamy yogurt, berries, light hint of mango, bitter floral and grassy finish. Palate: Medium bodied, soft carbonation, lightly pillowy. .

440ml can from Morrisons. Deep orange-amber in colour, with a tight, white, head. Aroma of sweet tangerine and pineapple, with citrus hops and lactose. Flavour had sweet tropical fruit, rich tea malts with a dream edge and led to a ripe, bitter, finish. Enjoyable.

440ml can from the brewery. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a lasting frothy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is tropical citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter, with a light, slightly watery, crisp, mango, sweet lactose, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Nice in small quantities but too sweet for a session.
