Keg @ Euston Tap. Pours murky brown, somewhat muddled taste, lots of hops flying about blending tropical flavours with stone fruit bracing bitter pine but not quite mixing right for me.

Pours amber with a large, lasting head.Nose shows floral and fruity hops in abundance. Orange blossom, lychee, pear and nectarine with some sweet clean malt underneath.Aggressive flavours, more focussed on grapefruit and pine with a very clean malt profile. An assertive bitterness rolls through the finish.Nice moderately high carbonation.

Bottle. Cloudy amber with an inch of loose white head. Aroma of grapefruit, lime, mango, some caramel - nice hops, not very nuanced. Nicely soft and enveloping in the mouth, medium to low carbonation. More tropical and stone fruit in the taste (yes, yes, "taste") which is sweet with a lick of caramel. Wafts of citrus come in, too. Moderate to high bitterness. Good.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; cloudy light copper pour with big bubbly off white head, tropical hop aroma loads of peach mango and pine, aroma is translated into the taste a tropical hop bomb with a malty edge, big carbonation. Nice.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Copper-golden with a thick head. Has a hoppy and very stated tropical fruit taste given its strength, which is evident. Grapefruit in both aroma and taste.
