From a 440ml can on 29/4/2025. Pours a clear medium golden with a smallish head. The nose is grassy, with some citrus and grape. On the sip, there's a light biscuit malt backbone, some sweet orange, lemon and white grape, finishing with a firmish bitterness with some light pine and resin. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Pretty solid.

(On tap) Hazy golden with small white head. Great aroma - grapes, pine, citrus. Medium body with big soft mouthfilling carbonation. Nice biscuity light toffee malt provides a great taste backbone. The start has some tropical fruit juice flavours. They fairly quickly get replaced by sweetness and then really good hoppy bitterness. The high alcohol is apparent but nicely so - giving bite and extra apparent sweetness. Great beer.

500ml bottle. Pours orange with good head. Gooseberry, cat’s piss, white wine, orange, little savoury biscuit, lots of funky grass. The aroma is all Nelson sauvin, but the flavour gets a bit messy. Not sure it’s the ideal hop for an IIPA.
