Draught@CBC2016. Yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, sweet malty with some alcohol and mild catpissy notes. Flavour is fruity, citrusy, wood and some mild toffeeish notes. A wee bit of alcohol, but actually quite wellbalanced.

Keg at The Hanging Bag. Hazy golden body with a thick white head. Low carbonation. Excellent lacing. Aroma of melon, flowers and mango. Flavour of pineapple, tangerine and honey. Medium to full body with an oily mouthfeel. Light fizz. A flavoursome DIPA but I found it to be a touch too sweet.
