Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Golden amber colour, thin white foam head and aroma of ripe tropical fruits, citrus, hops. Taste is sweet, malt caramel, juicy fruits, mellow citrusy, with resiny hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, hoppy bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.

Tap at Winter Affair '25. Notes are brief. Lots of juicy fruitiness, classic NEIPA feeling. Lots of tropical hops character. While well made, I am kinda bored of beers like these though, so rate it good, but not great.

Tap at Winter Affair 2025. Hazy yellow-golden body, off-white head - quite lasting. Sweetish citric aroma, orange mostly, herbal touches, nice! Lean, dry taste - citrus fruit, again mostly orange, light resin and herbal notes. Quite pleasant overall, very enjoyable!

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Palate is relatively smooth with late emerging decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a modest creamy sweetness. Hops bring crisp pine and a little hop spice into mildly bitter and ripe lemon and mild mango led tropical fruits. Light and mildly dry finish. Decent, like the slightly lemon vibe here.
