Thick and cloudy with a pale orange hue. Dense, intense, fruity and smooth; a chewy IPA brewed with 50% wheat and Mosaic, El Dorado and Citra hops. Sweet but not overly so and with plenty of bitterness for balance. This is a big one flavour-wise; tropical and citrus notes abound. It’s thick and soft, but with a punch, like a mouthful of mango washed down with a glass of fresh grapefruit juice and a shot of tequila. Piney resin and gooseberry come to the fore as the glass empties. We’re in fruit punch territory here. It’s a beach party in a glass.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - murky orange with a thin off-white head. Nose - orange, candied orange and bready. Taste - big orange going into marmalade. Orange peel and mango skin. Palate - medium bodied, tangy middle and finish. Overall - enjoyable though in truth, I didn't get a huge amount on the wheat side of things.
