Hazed orange topped with a lasting white head.

Taste comprises orange pith, guava, mandarin, mango flesh, pine resin.
Medium bodied and some, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come resinous hop bitterness allied to a balanced boost.
Tidy enough offering but runs a little on the sweet side and lacks bitterness for me.

Last of the unexpected fruit bombs, still pretty good blend, hopefully still due to the IPA base, tasty topical fruit and berry notes, hints of tart tea and vanilla

Was hoping for a nuanced sour IPA, think my last one before Primitive's one was many years ago, got a fruit bomb but it's pretty good! And I'm glad it isn't a kettle sour base I guess. Tons of berry notes, sweet and tart, thick and hopefully lactose free.
