Well! An IPA! It had to be part of our birthday releases! With immense drinkability, we won’t judge if you pour this all into your favourite pint glass and sup it as a larger measure. It’s brewed with a balanced medium body, juicy hoppiness, and spritzy, zesty drinkability. Slightly drier finishing than most of the sweeter IPAs on the market, we hope you’ll find this immensely pleasurable and effortlessly drinkable

440 ml can, as Cloudwater 10 Beyond the Mirage, from Left Field Beer. ABV is 6%. Hazy golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of citrus, yellow stonefruits and dust. The flavour is fruity but still fairly dry, low bitterness, a whiff of smoke in the finish. Fair enough.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear gold beer, small white head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Very candy fruits hops, getting perfumey. Cooling pine. Light semi dry finish. One of those meh Cloudwater beers that they do to many of for my liking. Their best is world class but it's not consistent.

440ml can. Hazy golden, white head. Aroma of passionfruit, mango, peach, maybe a hint of coconut. Taste is the same, light sweet stone fruits, peach, mango, passionfruit, coconut hints, drying finish. Medium bodied. Nice one.
Once again CW brewing a hoppy beer yet keeping the hops a secret. Curious...
