Bottle from Brewcraft at home after returning from Cebu. Clear golden amber pour with fine white head. Aroma is mango, citrus, some pine - big hops, nice - with some cereal malt. Taste is dank tropical hops with the same cereal malt. Normal palate. Lingering bitterness in the finish. Quite good and would probably get again.

On tap at the Lumsden. Aroma is toffee apple and caramelised bitter orange. In the mouth it’s full but refreshing, with plenty more fruit backed up by a strong caramel malt base. Really very good.
