Can, thanks to Craig. Pours juicy yellow with large foamy off-white head, very faint citrusy aroma, mildly bitter citrus-pineapple taste, smooth body, longish finish. More pineapple than citrus, well done.

Another one in this new series of collabs between Cloudwater and The Veil, very closely related to the Taco version with the same hops and same ABV, but tweaked a bit in the hop department to obtain a different profile - interesting to taste both side by side. This one, like its Taco brother, shows a lightly lacing, creamy, stable, egg-white head and cloudy yellow robe with a milky 'veil' over it. Aroma of toasted onions, dried passionfruit flesh, more dank 'urine' than the Taco, more garlic as well, lime juice, lychee, sourdough, grapefruit, celery. Fruity, vivid and tropical like the Taco, hinting at kiwi, dried mango, lychee and stale lime juice, sweet and sourish with medium carbonation, creamy mouthfeel. Soft bready basis, lovely pungent retronasal hop fragrance of frying sweet onions, garlic, dried mango and a lot of yellow grapefruit, which is reflected in the taste as well, in being more pungent, more spicy and peppery bitter than the Taco, almost raw ginger- and celery-ish in the end. I like this crisp spiciness, even though not the standard in NEIPAs, a whole lot - so for me personally, this is even better than the Taco version, but things like this are nothing but strictly personal opinion, of course.

440ml can direct from the brewery, shipped through the post. Pours murky orange, fluffy white head. Luscious soft exotic aroma conjuring pineapple, grapefruit etc.. Taste is light, pillowy exotics, creamy with papaya, lychee, guava, pineapple, grapefruit, some dank action. Delicious

440ml can. Pours opaque golden like orange juice, with a small white head, good retention. Juicy dank grassy aroma, tropical fruits, peach, melon. Taste of juicy but unripe tropical fruits, dank, grass, melon, stone fruits, moderate bitterness, a little astringent. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel, soft carbonation.
Cat looked better in the glass, a bigger head with better retention, but the bitterness was a little harsher than Taco, slightly astringent. The fruitiness in the taste felt a little greener, unripe, and the aroma wasn't as pleasant because of this too. Taco wins.

Can at L42. It pours crazy cloudy golden with a small white head. The aroma is musty, quite green, sulphury notes, must, bread, brioche, tangy fruits, juicy peach, persimmon and nectarine. The taste is soft, sweet, green, grassy, weed, bready malts, brioche, spring onion, straw and minerals with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Quite green. Doesn't really come together harmoniously for me. I definitely prefer Taco by some way.
