Can from lowcostbeer.com, 2 months past BBE. Pours a hazy orange, small white somewhat fizzy head, some retention, little lacing. Aroma is quite aromatic-floral with notes of citrus and wheat. Taste is juicy citrus, zesty, sweet floral-resin, pine, wheat and earthy malts Medium bodied, light chewiness, zingy carbonation. Below average DIPA but decent enough beer.

Can at the inlaws, from Bottleneck Broadstairs, 05/02/22. Moderately hazed orange golden with a decent white cap. Nose is orange peel, light vegetal notes, toasted grains, melon, grass, raw pineapple. Taste comprises orange pith, grapefruit zest, ripe melon, papaya, hint of candied fruits, bitter sweet tropical fruit esters. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close spiked with balanced juicy come resinous hop bitterness. OK DIPA ... it grew on me ... however knowingly rating hoppy beers 2 months out of date isn't fair on the brewer .... its a 3.6 but giving a 3.8 to bump up the Errant 3.4!!!

Can from the brewery online shop. Appearance - golden orange with a light haze. Thin off-white head. Nose - orange and melon. A hint of yeast and grassiness. Taste - apricot, orange and ripe melon. Again there's an underlying yeast and grassiness. Palate - light to medium bodied, sweetish middle, dry finish. Overall - I generally find Azacca quite a challenging hop, but not sure why that is. This was decent but not exceptional for the style.
