Hopworks Ferocious Citrus features a soft juicy haze with mandarin in the aroma. The flavour is well balanced between sweet and bitter, with bitter orange, mandarin peel, and tropical and resinous hop notes adding complexity. It finishes slightly bitter, with malty fluffiness cushioning the landing.

Part of a Beer52 UK box coming in at 6.2%. While all tangerines are mandarins, not all mandarins are tangerines I learned from Google, none the wiser. Semi-hazed dark-gold with thin white head. Aroma of sweet orange, earthy malt, hint of spicy hop. Taste of mandarin, being somewhat sweet with a slight tartness. The malt is notable but somewhat undefined - maybe cereal and bread crust. There is some bitterness from the hops but little in the way of flavour - grapefruit and light spice possibly. Medium bodied, drying Its a pleasant enough undercooked flavoured pale but modern IPA it is not.

[33cl can from Beer52 as Hopworks Ferocious Citrus IPA] A hazy amber pour with a thin white head; aroma of orange and mandarin; fresh orangey taste with some sweet malts; and a clean pithy citrus finish. Rather docile.
