Brewed with pale malt and oats, we’ve used Citra, Mosaic and Equanot hops to create the intense flavour known in most NEIPA’s. Dry hopped for a cloudy haze, this beer finishes with a tropical, indulgent sweetness.

Can on 1st February 2025, received as gift. Pours a hazy pale amber with thick, collapsing yellowy white foam and scant lacing. Citrus peel in aroma. Grapefruit and lemon citrus in-mouth, and a finish of bitter peel and grasses. Full bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

Can from Tick Beer, consumed 4 months past BBE. Hazy yellow-gold with big white head which recedes quickly. A citrus and stone fruit aroma. Taste is quite fruity, with zesty citrus, mango, pineapple, slight resinous quality, quite bitter for a NEIPA

330ml can as part of a delivery, drunk at home. Dark gold and cloudy with a full white head. Light white grapefruit aroma, some herbal notes and some mint, a little bit of soap, bittersweet and refreshing taste with lots of white grapefruit pith. Intense bitter left on the back of the tongue. Decent little beer but not particularly special.

Can from Simply Cornish in Looe, drunk whilst participating in a Wycombe museum online event: Beer, wine and gin; what is the most historic drink. Cloudy golden-orange with a white head and a light fizz. Creamy mouthfeel, verging on chalky. Tropical aroma, flavour of orange, mango, an intriguing twist of coconut and a little spice. Somehow feels chewy, which I like. Good balance of sweet and bitter. Rather nice I thought. Oh, and you'll be glad to know that beer was voted the best historic drink at the event.

Can from Beers Of Europe. Appearance - cloudy orange. Neat lacing. Nose - orange, papaya and earthy resin note. Taste - orange and underripe mango. Bitter resin edge. Actual solids, presumably AWOL hops in it. Palate - creamy in texture up front. Light to medium bodied. Dry, bitter finish. Overall - decent but a little bit more bitterness than preferred.
