440 ml can, as Overtone Colossus Triple IPA, from Left Field Beer. ABV is 10.0%. Hazy golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of melon, pineapple and papaya, a hint of pine. The flavour has the same elements, also citrus and sweet notes of lactose and alcohol. Low bitterness.

Can shared at work, courtesy of the Overtone crew. Big tropical fruits blend with greener, grassy notes, creamy and big bodied but doesnt turn too sweet. I didnt even realise there was lactose in there until I saw it on ingredient list, well done

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 02/09/24. Hazed orange with an off white covering that thins to the edge. Nose is ripe tropicana, pine needle, gooseberries, hop spice, orange wine gums. Taste comprises bitter tropical fruits, lime zest, grass, guava, grapefruit, mandarin. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness allied to a rising boost. Solid TIPA ... as per usual with Overtone ... maintains a good bitter balance and doesn't run sweet.

Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth but impressively light palate, good fine minerally carbonation. A good light but rich creamy sweetness. Light crisp pine, a mild but persistent hop spice. Two of the most faded hops I know do a good job here. Modern Mosaic candy fruits, a little tropical fruits. Good citrus, a little ripe. Mild Nelson grape, what there is, is pretty pleasing. Crisp hop spicy finish. A light and very drinkable TIPA.
