Massive and complex aromas cascade from this IPA. Cracking lots of Citra, Mosaic and Riwaka make for a heavenly hophead sup. Expect heaps of mango, citrus, berry, fuel and kiwi hedgerow.
This banger of an IPA wasn’t just brewed for good times at home or the pub, we made it to travel too! Soft Disco Leisure Reception is heading with us across the pond, as a signature brew to pour at the legendary Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Festival in California in a few weeks. As the only UK brewery invited to pour alongside some of the most respected names in industry, we wanted to bring something that shows exactly what we’re about: big, bold beers, huge hop flavours, and shedloads of fun!

440ml can from Vinmonopolet Langnes. Opaque golden body, stable white head, lacing rings down the glassware. Quite inviting smell of pineapple with a floral touch. Strong hop fruity taste, hints of pineapple and peaches, pale malty moments as well. Soft hop fruity ending. Just alright without further excitements. (Tromsø, 19.03.2026).

Panda thanks to Cloin. A mildly hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy and semi dry palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin pale malts but, quite a fairly forward creamy sweetness. Light pine hops. A tangy and awkward bitterness. Thin citrus and stone fruits, touch of Riwaka exotics. Light and fairly dry finish. Hmm. A few too many awkward aspects to forgive or overlook here.
