Can shared at Ganz. Pours hazy golden with a white head. Nose is intense tropical fruits, tutti frutti and light zesty notes, lovely. Taste is rather sweet but not overwhelming and is well counterbalanced with some bitterness. It’s packed with candy sweetness and tropical fruits, very well rounded. Closes with a long lasting, intense finish, has a big, rich body and soft carbonation. Outstanding.

can bbe 21/11/21 tasted 2022-01-28 citrus fruity and full body malty aroma. aroma hints of a high abv, but not boozy aroma. some grapefruit bitterness, fruit peel bitterness. flavor is VERY hoppy, exotic fruits, grapefruit, green grapes. also a solid sweet malty flavor. some of the exotic flavors also seem sweet. The sweetness reminds me of a sweetness I once tasted in beer many years back, i think it was belgian or dutch. perhaps an european touch. sweet double ipa, tons of exotic and sweeter fruity hops as well as a sweet malty base. very potent

Can ordered from Twisted Crow, Basingstoke. Relatively low key aroma - stone fruit with a muted resinous edge. Dark hazy orange. Foamy translucent white head. Light-medium bitter. Resin. Spice. Booze. Underlying fruit - however it's not particularly sweet. It's dank. Thick bodied. Creamy. Average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Enjoyable. Despite all the burning cash on the can I don't think it's flashy. Just a big 'un.
