Pours murky yellow with a sudsy head.Nose shows lychee, passionfruit, spicy and resinous hops, clean malt.Flavours include full-on hop flavour, as in freshly opened bag of hop character. Super spicy and resinous. Just hops. Followed by a pretty punchy hoppy bitterness.

A very nice NEIPA aroma belies the surprise to come - it's very dry. The nose has plenty of passionfruit and pine, plus some biscuit and even a tiny bit of cocoa. In the mouth, it's the same flavours with a really crisp, dry, lemony finish. It's unexpected and takes a little getting used to, but in the end I've decided I'm happy with it.
