This beer embodies those ideas of inclusivity by making an easy and accessible IPA that is as tasty as it is easy drinking.
Aromas of sweet cream, honey and strawberries. A soft, silky and super smooth mouthfeel and balanced flavour of fleshy lychees, oranges and honeydew melon.

(On tap @ Hop Locker, London, Aug 31/19) Hazy dark gold IPA with a white head. Nice sweet citrus, pineapple, melon and berry notes with a little floral quality to it, moderately dank overtones, richer honeyed malt body, nice resinous citrus and dank finish with moderate bitterness and lingering floral fruit. Medium-bodied, creamy, smooth carbonation. Good one.

Pours hazy gold, quite a bit of initial head. Aroma is fruity, indeed a hint of strawberry, lot of hops, some pine. Very fruity, just a bit of resin. Mouthfeel is very soft and pillowy. Flavour has a lovely malt profile, clean with a bit of caramel. Extremely smooth. Beautiful hop profile as well, very balanced and only very lightly bitter. Fruity and floral, bit of pine, no resin in the flavour profile. Lovely smooth and fruity NEIPA.

Can. Hazy gold beer, good fluffy pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth light malts, a light creamy sweetness. HBC431 is reliability piney fruity, a good mix of light citrus and light tropical fruits. The HBC 472 are supposed to be closely aligned with Sabro, certainly smooth soft piney but the coconut character is lighter for me. Soft smooth finish. Nice beer, smooth from top to bottom and pretty quaffable.
