A myriad of tropical fruit flavours in harmonious balance with an enjoyable level of hoppy bitterness, a good malt character and a very clean finish. This a dangerously drinkable 5.5% IPA!

Has a good perfumy detergent aroma with some soft malt. Okay head and golden body. Flavour is nice sharp hop characteristics. Kind of weak on the mouth. It’s just an okay IPA.
