Can. SImcoe, Magnum, Citra, Mosaic, Eldorado, Bravo, Denali and Galaxy hops. Very hazy gold beer, small white head. Nose of pine and pineapple. Light palate, fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Light thin malts, sweetish. Pine and pineapple, light citrus and mild hop skunk and spice. Fruity tang. Light dry finish leaves a mild bitter linger. Nice if a little thin and dry.

Keg @ Vocation & Co, Hebden Bridge. Cloudy amber-orange with a small head. Has an acute bittered citrus nose that's slightly dirty. There's citrus orange and pineapple in its taste, with a slightly soda pop-like fizz. Has a citrus bitter finish.

Can. Beer Central, Sheffield. Dirty, hazy gold. Scummy white head. Not a looker, especially. Nose has pale bread. Clean malts. Hops come across a bit grape like. Some pear and white peach. Some pineapple core. The yeast profile in this has a Belgian twang about it, not to any particular detriment. Taste is quite sweet and fruity, with a light, bitter twang. Soft mouthfeel. A little drying. More twang to finish. Decent, but odd.

Can at L42 - thanks to Danny. It pours hazy yellow - gold with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, juicy, tangy, tropical, pineapple, fruit cake, green hops and grass. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter, green, grassy, bread, herbal, minerals, soapy citrus, pineapple and peach with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. I feel the pineapple character should/could be more expressive. It is still pretty tasty nonetheless.

Can at home, Barbados, 26th August 17. Pours hazy orange. Aroma is tropical fruit. Taste is bitter, sweet ripe fruit, dry, odd linger, not so smooth and not great, but OK.

Can shared in London - big thanks to Osprey. Pours hazy orange with a foamy, off-white head. Citrusy aroma, with a little peach, pale bread, melon. Light-medium sweet flavour with a nice hop-malt balance, more tangerine, peach, low bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with a little resin, peach, tangerine, rind. Really solid.

Can split at L42, thanks to Danny, 23/08/17. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white head that retains well. Nose is mellow citric, light spice, orange pith, melon, toasted bread. Taste comprises pineapple chunks, tropical fruit medley, orange pith, toasted bread.. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with balanced hop bitterness and a light dank tickle. Ok IPA ... lacks wow though.

Keg at HL3. A clouded golden orange coloured pour with a lasting frothy white head. Aroma is bags of soft fruit, stone fruit, tangerine and plastic note. Nice mellow dank hop on the nose. Flavour is composed of rounded smooth grains, wheat and oats, spicy citrus, tangy pithy lemon, mellow dank. Lingering aggressive hop bitterness. Lingering plastic. Palate is frothy carbonation, resinous hop semi drying finish. Good stuff. Packs a punch.
