moderately hazed orange with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is tarte fruits, pissy citric shreds, on the turn pineapple, hay bale.
Taste comprises guava, raw tropicana, grass, lychee, lactic tang.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a fair puckering edge.
Not bad.

a bit diminished stonefruit and tropical fruit nose. Low medium bitterness, super juicy. Like it’s juice. Alcohol very well hidden but lacks complexity. It’s amazing this is 10%. Not a masterpiece but very interesting take.

Loads of Brett. And I’m a bit shocked to say this, but maybe a little too much. Touch of oak from the barrel perhaps. Perhaps a feel of saison in the back but almost undetectable. But gotta love that Brett.

Can shared in London - cheers to Tipple. Pours hazy yellow with a creamy, white head. Light sweet flavour with notes of pithy lemon, grapefruit, pine needles. Medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Sound.

WCB x KBC Rikuryoku Kyoushin Hazy IPA 6% Lovely straw gold with thick white foam but it vanished fast. Juicy aroma of Sunny D citrusy tropical fruit punch. Light bodied with that characteristic dry KBC finish. The taste gives bright grapefruit notes. Dryer than I want in a hazy IPA but a good solid hoppy brew.
