This big, bold, bitter IPA not only shows off a super hop kick but a depth of orange, apricot and tropical fruit flavours that are both refreshing and complex. Crammed full of four aromatic hop varieties, a fantastically tasty beer.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers! Aroma is of orange peel and pine. It is all aroma and not a lot of taste. Pine comes through on the taste, easy to drink but not memorable.

Panda at home, thanks to the SHIG, 10/07/21. Clear pale golden blonde with a decent white covering. Nose is orange zest, grass, melon, light pine nip, tangerine. Taste comprises pale malts, light breads, melon, orange peel, grass. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with modest hop bitterness. Passable for the style if lacking in hop presence compared to most contemporaries.

Can thanks to Ben. Appearance - cloudy golden orange. Thin head. Nose - dried apricot plus orange. Pungent guava. Taste - more orange. Mango this time rather than guava. Palate - close to medium bodied with a dry tangy middle and finish. Overall - good beer.

Can from Morrisons it pours clear yellow with a small white head. The aroma is toasty grain, cereal, sweet lemony vibes, lemon curd, grass, lemongrass and straw. The taste is crisp, dry, light bitterness, light lemony citrus, pithy, toasty grain, cereal, grass and straw with a dry finish. Lightish body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Not a huge amount to it really. Drinkable enough anyways.

Clear amber colour, medium sized creamy off-white head; aroma and taste of marmalade, orange peel oils, fruitiness (mainly apricot), toasted bread, some nutty and floral notes, butterscotch and moderate hoppy bitterness - more like a bitter than an IPA, but anyway, it's really enjoyable
