A 6.5% DDH IPA, hopped with Mosaic, Waimea and Sabro, with a healthy dose of HBC1019, for a super hazy and juicy beer with flavours of mango, citrus, and stone fruits, backed up with lighter notes of Valencia orange, coconut, peach and banana.

Sabro and HBC1019 working wonders here delivering a plethora of juicy fruity goodness - getting pineapple, juicy tangerine, some mango and honeydew melon, light undercurrent of coconut shavings, nice creamy sweet malty backing, robust hoppy finish.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light soft creamy sweet pale malts. Crisp hops. Crisp pine and crisp hop spice. HBC1019 and Sabro together? Whew! Good juicy pineapple, that mild tinned/ripe vibe. A modest coconut cream. Juicy and fairly intense lime but it's the backdrop to the Caribbean hop fruit intensity. Decent juicy orange and tangerine citrus on the back end along with more light but tingling hop spice. Wow! A 6.5% IPA delivering the hop intensity of a great dipa! Good hop choices and good brewing. Easy innit?

I once had to sit next to comedian Frank Carson for over two hours on the Blackpool bound train out of London, it was non-stop joke telling for over two hours. He'd have probably found this one a cracker. More tropical in taste than aroma with a lovely milky style texture too
