Can. Of course, there was a time, that everyone, me included, were chasing round like madmen, to try the early versions of this beer. It was like someone in old Blighty finally got what the Yanks had been doing for some time. It influenced a ton of breweries and freed up fanatics like me. I no longer had to trade with the US to get good hoppy beers, finally they were home grown by a number of breweries! An ocean of water under the bridge since then or course. Cloudwater can still challenge for the belt on their best day but, they are no longer a guaranteed finalist in my book, haven't been for a long old while. So, enough flim flam, was does V18 of this venerable series taste like. A hazy orange gold beer, with a small but tidy pale cream colour head. Fairly airy palate, decent fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Soft pale malts, a nice light and smooth creamy sweetness. Smooth cooling pine. Slightly tangy but bright citrus. Some Riwaka in here? A slightly salty lychee says yes to me but can't be sure as so often happens with Cloudwater, there is no hop detail on the can. Don't know why, don't care, just find it Brewdog style arrogant. Good stone fruits on the back end, a twist of enlivening lime. A mild but pleasing savoury skunk. Smooth finish. A superior dipa then but, brewed by a brewery than often irritates me these days. Not the first I have felt like that.

Pours murky yellow with a rich head. Fruity aroma with notes of grapefruit, yeast and gun powder. Fruity flavour withnotes of mango, passion fruit and peaches. Some hop burn in the finish. Solid.

Sweet, malty and biscuity with some notes of cereal, grassy hops, tropical fruits, citrus, grapefruit and hay, hints of lime, gooseberries and earthiness. Not super fresh, quite interesting mouthfeel.
