A psychedelic and heady blend of American hops result in aromas of drippy sweet tangerines, gentle dank and pineapple. A restrained bitterness paired with a soft-as-a-cloud mouthfeel make this beer drink easier than mango juice!

Can from the brewer's own stall at the Bristol Christmas market. Golden-amber with a white head and a moderate fizz. Decent rich resinous mouthfeel. Full-on flavour of orange, lemon and mango. Just a hint of pine at the end. Sweetish with exactly the right amount of bitterness to balance; fresh and juicy, and yet with a crisp finish. This is a lovely IPA.

Can. Amber with a large white head that never quite disappears.. Aroma of sticky bread crusts, mango, dope, kumquats, pine. Just a slight travel sweet touch suggests it's English even though the hops are very American. Layers of pale and slightly toasted malt give quite a bit of body but obscure the fruit a little. The citrus, sticky tropical and some spicy notes creep up towards the end. Would have liked a drier finish, but this is pretty good.

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 3rd September 2017. Coppery amber with yellowy white lacing foam. Intense hoppy aroma with tangerine, tempered with sweet malts. Exquisite hoppiness in-mouth, with abundant tangerine, grapefruit and peach. Luxuriant tangy citrus and tropical fruit finish. Full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Excellent IPA!
