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!

Cask @ CAMRA NWAF 2014, Derby. Golden yellow, clear with some white head. Light malt citrus aroma. The initial taste is bittersweet with a slightly jarring bitter finish. Ok but not too great, and in no way an IPA.

Cask at the Milton Keynes Beer Festival 2013. Poured a hazy golden colour with a rocky white head. Sweet aromas of honey, pineapple and caramel. Tropical fruit flavours with golden syrup and some cereal. Finish is dry grain, hop resin and straw. Not bad, but not so balanced.

Cask, half, shared with Finn as our last drink at the New Oxford Winter Ales Festival ’13. Slightly hazy, golden body. Bubbly white head. Floral fruity aroma with earthy malts behind. Flavoured with sweet citrus fruits and grainy malts. Leafy bitter ending. Foamy in the mouth. Just ok (Greater Manchester, 27.01.2013).

Cask@Derby Winter Beer Festival 2013. Golden beer with a good head. The aroma is bitter and hopped with grassyness, and the flavour is nicely dry and well hopped. Overall a good hopped and dry beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

(cask@Ravensbourne Arms, SE London) Pours a nice gold with a good off white head and good lacing. Aromas are malt biscuit caramel and citrus. Taste pleasant but not overpowering hop character (citrus lemon/orange in there) mix with biscuit malt. My first Dancing Duck offering and a good first impression.
