From tap at Little Delirium, Amsterdam. Fresh 'green' hoppy aroma with lychee, tropical fruits, citrus, mango, passion fruit, and orange. Moderate sweet flavour with a medium bitterness. Body is medium. Lovely intense hops, solid IPA!

From backlog. 330ml bottle. Sweetish, floral and fruity hoppy with some pine, crisp grassy notes and earthiness. Okay, not very fresh though.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at the brewery. Pours hazy honey-gold with a big, frothy white head. Restrained overall, with suggestions of grainy pale malts, semi-ripe citrus fruits, moderate rindy bitterness, accents of dry pine needles. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more pale, grainy malt foundation, tangerine and pine needles, touches of pithy grapefruit. Pretty enjoyable, to be fair, if not especially vibrant.

Bottle at home from Offie & Toffee. It's been waiting its turn in the collection for a while and was approaching its BBD. A good pour and a strong fruity hop aroma. The taste was short and quite bitter hops that on first sip I found unpleasant. The taste was a bit of a jumble and whilst drinkable, it didn't give me much pleasure. I've had much better from the brewery.

Very hazy yellowish gold beer, big pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and fairly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, modest sweetness. Pithy orange with a slighty chalky tangy bitterness. Touch of lemon on the light mildly crisp finish. A bit thin feeling and a little unclean. A weak offering from these now experienced brewers.

330 ml bottle, from Ales By Mail. ABV is 6.2%. Hazy pale golden colour, large white head. Lovely aroma of fruity hops, notes of citrus and tropical fruits, also hints of spruce. The flavour is slightly sweet and fruity first, followed by rather sharp notes of pine and spruce from the bittering hops.

Bottle at home, 30/06/18. Hazed yellow golden with a decent off white cap. Nose is citric pith, melon, straw, lemon rind, slightly astringent grassy notes. Taste comprises orange pith, grassy bite, faint soap, melon, light breads. Medium bodied, light prickly carbonation, semi drying close with slightly astringent hop bitterness. Not up to the usual standards from these guys.
