Tropigamma is a tropical IPA brewed with lactose, bucket-loads of pineapple juice and mango puree in the whirlpool with the hops, and mandarin, papaya, passionfruit, guava and lime juice towards the end of fermentation (all contributing to an intensely hazy fresh fruit juice in the morning beer).
Juicy tropical fruits combine with big bold hops on the nose to lure you in with complex aromas of citrus, ripe mango and pine. The flavour is fruit driven (obviously), leading with sweet mandarin, tangy passionfruit and round mango and finishing with a satisfying hoppy, bitter bite with the addition of oats keeping the drinking experience smooth and round. This is literally a fruit explosion in a can!

330ml can. Pours an opaque orange colour, like a glass of orange juice, with a creamy white head. Aroma: fruit juice - pineapple, orange, lime, passionfruit, mango, some pine as well I think, and grassy hops. Taste: really juicy fruity flavours, sweet, all the tropical fruits from the aroma, lots of citrus, zesty orange/mandarin, finish is long with bitter hops, pine. Smooth oily mouthfeel, medium body, carbonation medium-lively. Really is a fruit explosion, think I prefer the original Gamma Ray but this is a nice beer too, just a bit too bittersweet for me.

330ml can from Ales By Mail. Pours hazy orange with a smooth head. Juicy, slightly stuffy NE style IPA with hints of pineapples, blood orange and mango.

330 ml can from Beer Gonzo, bb 10/02/17. Thanks to Werckmeister!
Orange, cloudy body, with a medium, creamy, lacing, yellowish head.
Aroma with loads of juicy tropical fruits, grapefruit, earth, pine, biscuit.
Tastes not as juicy as the nose, but also very fruity, with grapefruit, pineapple, passion fruit and other tropical fruits, lemon juice, biscuit, some earth, subtle pine.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes crisp, medium bitter, piney, citric, moderate juicy, a bit sweet, slightly warming.
Tasty. Although pretty juicy, the fruits are well integrated, leaving room for the typical hoppy, earthy and biscuity notes from Gamma Ray. Despite all the juice it drinks really crisp and easy, very well balanced overall. Maybe not fully on par with the great Gamma Ray, but still a lovely, expressive variant.

Keg at The University Club, Monday, Oxford 5th December 2016 Hazy orangey colour with a sprinkling of bubbles. This is a ’Hair of the Dog’ alcoholic breakfast pick me up surely? It really almost drinks like an alcohol laden fruit juice, there is bag fulls of fruit (mostly tropical) here with mango and pineapple leaping out at yer, thick mouthfeel, juicy as anything. Good but seems to have moved away from beer a little too much. A8 A3 T7 P4 Ov15 3.7

Can at home, 4th December 16. Pours cloudy orange. Aroma is fruit, tropical, mango, papaya. Taste is as suggested, tropical fruit, mango, orange, fruit salad, some bitterness, not enough hops to stand up to the fruit, the oats make for a good palate, lingering bitterness, OK

Can. Turner’s, Sheffield. Colour of chicken gravy. Film and ring of white head. Nose has loads of breakfast fruit juice. Some pine sap. Sloppy mango. Taste is light sweet, with some stone fruit bitterness. Some dryness, too. Feels a bit mucky and grainy on the palate. Dry, lightly bitter finish. Smells and looks great, but then like lots of these fruit laden beers, the rest just doesn’t match up. I don’t want to drink alcoholic Um Bongo.

0,33l can at home. BB 10.02.2017. orange cloudy color, medium big white head. smells of lemon grass, green peppers, exotic fruits, bit musty, bit parfumy. ok smell. full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of exotic fruits, some dill, spices, bit peppery, light caramel, lightly citric, lemon grass. finishes quite balanced with some bitterness but also some sweetness and notes of mango, lemon grass and some dill notes. quite decent but not totally convincing, has some weird side notes. overall still drinkable.

Can. Cloudy gold beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has modest fine carbonation. Thin malts, semi sweet. All sorts of tropical fruits here, quite pulpy. Mango, pineapple and guava all quite obvious. There is some hop spice and pine as well. Finishes dry and tropical fruity. Nice idea but it comes over as tropical fruit juice with some hops added when I guess it was supposed to be the other way around. It’s decent but nothing to shout from the rooftops about.

Can split at Islington tasting, thanks to Dave, 24/11/16. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is pissy tropical fruits, light dank tunes, bitter orange, straw. Taste comprises mango, fleshy tropical fruits, orange wine gums, orange pith, pine, brioche. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a dankish hop finale. Ok ... and just that ... doesn’t really come together too well ... a little bit dirty and grainy.
