From a 440ml can on 29/9/2020.Pours a hazy medium golden with a small head. Smells, pleasant, with a light fruitiness - a bit citrussy, a bit tropical. Flavour wise, it's very dessert like with stone fruit (apricot and peach) leading the way, followed by tropical fruit (passion fruit and pineapple) with a little bit of coconut and vanilla custard in the mix as well. There's a distinct, ever so tart, bitterness that balances things out perfectly. The mouthfeel is silky and creamy, the carbonation softish to moderate. I don't know what Version 1 was like but this is a simply phenomenal imperial NEIPA, with a quite unusual dessert like quality. Complex, balanced and absolutely delicious. Gotta get more of this!
