A mango & grapefruit IPA made with whole fruits sourced from traders at Portobello Market. We brew a stiff, well-hopped IPA using aromatic new-world hops and augment it with two additions of fruit. The result is juicy and aromatic with a bitter hop backbone keeping everything in check. When the temperature goes up Tropical Crush is dangerously crushable.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#96. Heading home, but having this golden session before the next train. Easy, hoppy, mild tropical fruits, could be better.

Pours an almost clear yellow gold colour with almost no head. Aroma is fruity, tropical fruits and citrusy. A citrusy bitter taste, pithy citrus and tropical fruit flavours.

Fra cask på Mossy Well, sammen med Steven og musikerkolleger aug-19: nesten helt klar korngylden med ok skum. En dårlig balansert øl, den tynne maltkroppen klarer slett ikke å bære alle de småsure bær- og citrusinntrykkene. Besk avslutning. Distinctly unappealing.
