Can ordered from Left Field Beer. Aroma combines stone fruit, a resinous streak and vinous edge. Finishes with earthy notes. Hazy orange. Foamy translucent white head. Flavourwise it has an instant burst of fruit juice, followed by a biitter combination of resin and herbs. Also a vinous rasp. Medium bodied. Oily. Soft carbonation with a lazy flowing fizz. Long dry astringent finish. Chewy DNEIPA.

Very hazy yellow to bright orange colour, minimal ecru-ish off-white lacing; aroma of tropical fruity (pineapple, mango, maybe dried papaya), grapefruity-pomelo-like citrusy, some coconut, perfumy, slight dill and tangerine juicy notes; taste has the same notes as can be felt in the aroma with definite amount of hoppy bitterness and spicy-horseradish-like aftertaste; really good one

Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a light but forward creamy sweetness. Crisp cooling pine. Good stone fruits and tropical fruits with a bright citrus leading edge. Trouble is, there is also a pronounced perfumey note as well. Dunno! Crisp fairly dry finish brings a little hop spice. Errrm, not sure whether to drink this or offer it to the wife as a perfume!

Footnote: Wife says I am a fucken idiot and too shut up and drink my fancy beer!
