440ml can. Hazy golden, small white head. Aroma of ripe tropical fruits, pine, mango, pineapple. Taste of slightly sweet tropical fruits, ripe pineapple, piney resin, grapefruit, mango, papaya, piney bitter finish with some pithy hop and dankness, light booze too (at least more than I would expect for the stated 7.4%). Medium bodied. Decent if not particularly exciting, will give it the benefit of the doubt as this is a bit over 3 months old now.

440ml can from Left Field Beer, Solihull and shared at Benny’s place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a murky yellow golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, grassy, dank. The flavour is over moderate bitter, with a smooth, somewhat rich, fresh, grassy, mineral, earthy, light boozy hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Keg at MS High Wycombe, 13/12/24. Mad Squirrel rake #200. Hazed orange golden topped with a lasting just off white head. Nose is bitter tropical fruits, pine resin, grapefruit, dank spike, mango pulp. Taste comprises mango flesh, grapefruit, pine resin, weed, dank lickings, melon, papaya. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close spliced with juicy come resinous hop bitterness. Tidy easy drinking DIPA ... if a little under powered at 7.4% ... nose outweighed the taste on this one.
