A tropical IPA using house Golden Promise, Oats and Wheat for body and a little Caramalt for residual sweetness. Judiciously hopped with Simcoe, Ekuanot, HBC 438, Huell Melon and Motueka in whirlpool and dry hop. The hops adding flavours and aromas of passionfruit, melon and lime. Fermented with Brett Trois for a pineapple/mango aroma and a lightly tart and refreshing finish.

Can. Hazy gold beer, big bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Fluffy malts bring a mild creamy sweetness. A fairly tangy fruity mid, a nice mix of.grapey citrus, mild melon and mild hop spice. Touch of pineapple. Just that mildly irritating tang stops it from reaching the higher echelons.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at The Bottle Shop, Bermondsey. Pours lightly hazy orange-gold with a small, creamy topping. The nose has some jammy tropical fruits, orange, white grape. Light-medium sweet flavour with low bitterness, some bread, more white grape, oranges, a little rindy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with more jammy citrus, ripening tropical fruits, low bitterness, bready pale malts. Drinkable enough, if a touch simplistic.

Tanks! Sampled 500 ml. can @ Billie’s Bier Kafétaria. Orange hazy, little white head. Nose is awesome orange, peach, mango smoothie. Surprisingly bitter taste, lots of mango peel, peach, bitter fruit skins smoothie, interesting harsh smoothie IPA. Thick bodied hazy. Fun & tasty as expected from these guys.
