Pint on tap at Piccadilly Tap, Manchester. Tropical fruit nose with caramel background. Still golden amber beer with thin film of suds on top. Zingy mouthfeel, light body. Nice lacing down the glass. Taste is bitter fruit followed by 'juicy fruit' finish and lingering bitterness. A little malt balances it out. Nice APA with a great nose. A pleasure to drink.

Golden colour with light haze. Aroma and flavour have a lot of resinous and fruity hop. Clean and refreshing.

Half pint poured from keg and shared with Finn waiting for a train at Piccadilly Tap. Clear amber coloured body, filmy layer, spotty lacing. Aromas of citrus, leafy hops and mild caramel. Mixed taste profile of fresh tropical fruits and brown malts. Leafy hop bitterness to the finish. Clean in the mouth. Decent thirst quencher (Manchester 15.02.2016).

Cask, gravity dispense, Oxford Beer Festival, Oxford Town Hall. Thursday 16th October 2014 Beer of the festival for me, this was excellent. Fruity and juicy with zippy crushing hops. Light gold in colour, a steady furry bitterness coating roof of mouth and tongue. Citrussy, bitter and dry, super beer. Had another couple of these as the night wore on, and got quite a few others to join my Shindigger fanclub. A7 A4 T9 P4 Ov16 4.0

330ml bottle from Beermoth. Another new Manc brewer!? Pours slightly hazy gold with thin foamy head. Aroma is tropical hops. Taste is lemon, tangerine and tropical flavours, but just doesn’t fully hit the spot for me.
