No worries. A tale of three continents. The fruit of the summer heat. Bask in the uprising... Marula Matata NEIPA is a hazy juice blast packed with tropical flavours from real marula fruit and galaxy and mosaic hops.

Bottle from Frimley Waitrose. Tangy stone fruit-esque aroma, I guess it's marula. Dark gild. A vague hint of a haze to it. Thin white head recedes to pretty much nothing. Some sweet fruit and sour edge but it's predominantly quinine bitter. Medium bodied. Slick and complimented by soft carbonation. Astringent finish. It's alright. Probably not benefited from storage but it's no NEIPA.

Bottle at home from Waitrose, 16th November 19. Pours a flat orange liquid. Aroma is synthetic orange chewits, candy, taste is light strawberry, rose, candy and a kind of unpleasant bitter fruity finish. It’s fine to glug back, but no NEIPA and grandiose title for the beer that lies within.

[33cl bottle from Waitrose, Bracknell] A disappointingly flat looking hazy amber pour with just a ring of white head; unusual fruity aroma; tart, unfamiliar fruity taste, quite overpowering really, with a lingering bitterness that may come from the fruit, or from the hops. Rather odd.

Bottle from Waitrose. Cloudy amber, with a thin, off-white, head and trace of carbonation. Tropical fruits, sweet and flabby malts, thin hops and a gentle finish. So so.

Bottle at Jason & Tracey’s, 12/10/19. Hazed orange with a modest off white covering that dissipates to a small swirl. Nose is papaya, slightly sickly tropical fruits, cane sugar, prickly pear. Taste comprises sweet malts, light spice and herb, more sickly sugar notes, Irn Bru, dusty tropical fruits. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Poor effort ... sweetish ... sharp in places and disjointed overall ... drain poured the bulk.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at Waitrose. Pours unclear gold with a bubbly white head. Has some sugary, candy-like citrus notes, pale bread, off-balanced grassy bitterness, lemon peel. Light bodied with average carbonation. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Harshly bitter finish, along with more oddly sugary citrus, mild astringency, pine. I don't use this word lightly, but this beer is *garbage*.
