Hazed orange topped with a white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is grapefruit, mixed tropicana, pineapple, mango, soft malts.
Taste comprises bitter orange, pineapple, grass, melon, mango, papaya.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness.
Okay DIPA but runs a little on the sweet side for my liking.

Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a forward but not overdone creamy sweetness. Was expecting Enigma hop solo here but no! 3rd on the hop bill! False advertising or what? Anyway hops bring a fair dose of melon. Light cooling pine. Some red berry generic fruitiness on the back end. Looking for black pepper but really just a subtle streak towards the end. Mild modern Mosaic candy fruits. Smooth finish. Decent DIPA, goes down easy and despite the false premise on the can, it is Enigma dominant.

Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Strong straw-danky aroma. Medium-bodied. Flavour has also straw but less dank than expected, some grapefruit and pineapple. Lots of dry hops here.
