3rd November 2024 Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate starts smooth but rapidly develops biting fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a fairly pronounced creamy sweetness, some milky sweetness here, almost carnation condensed milk. The hops bring crisp pine and a fairly fierce hop spice. Bright citrus fruits, slightly tangy and complex. Crisp hop spicy finish. This could be a super dipa but that milky sweetness I find bothersome and, Riwaka can stand alone in my book. 3.7

Can. A much more rounded experience. The malts are creamy sweet but not milky. Rich and juicy hops. Juicy rounded citrus into slightly honeyish tropical fruits, a fair amount of guava. Light crisp finish brings a touch of hop spice. Definitely worthy of the revisit!

440ml can from House of Trembling Madness. A hazy golden/orange/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Sweetish, hoppy, orange, grapefruit, peach, mango, tropical fruit taste, aroma is similar. This is an absolutely delicious dank juicy tasting DIPA. I've never even heard of the brewery before. UK is in a right old mess but our beer scene is one of the best in the world right now. Excellent beer, will buy some more for sure.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 30/09/24. Murky orange yellow topped with a big old frothy just off white covering. Nose is raw pineapple, stone fruit, dank spike, mandarin, grapefruit. Taste comprises guava, stone fruit, hop spice, dank chimes, pine resin, lychee, grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come resinous hop bitterness allied to a balanced rising boost. Solid Kiwi fuelled hop doppel shizzle.
