Can from The Beerhive. Clear bronze body with a thin white head. No visible carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of peach, digestive biscuits and grapefruit. Flavour of orange, caramel and tomatoes. Medium body with an oily texture. Average fizz. A solid beer, but the hops aren’t quite shining in this.

Can from The Beerhive shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours murky amber with a thin white head. Aromas of fruit salads, papaya. Taste is light bitter, fruity. Not much belgian character. Decent enough.

Can thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - cloudy amber with a nice lacy head. Nose - tutti fruity sweets. Light spice. Taste - tangy papaya with citrus note on the finish. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - really tasty beer.

Can from the Beerhive shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours golden amber with a light haze and a thin white head. Aromas of tropical fruit, resin, citrus. Taste is bitter, more tropical fruit. Bitter finish.

Can from The Beerhive. Hazy amber body with a medium off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of caramel, banana bread and polished wood. Flavour of stewed pear, brown sugar and earth. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Lively fizz. Lacks the hop hit I hoped for from a Belgian IPA; the malt and yeast dominate.

Can from The Beerhive. Hazy golden body with a thick off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of grass, minerals, metal and lime zest. Flavour of stainless steel, tonic water and grapefruit. Thin to medium body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft fizz. Crisp and refreshing, but lacking the tropical fruit character I associate with Citra and Mosaic.

Can. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Hazy, pink tinged, dark gold. Film of sticky, white head. Nose has sticky malts. The yeast comes over a bit gluey and thick. Some overripe banana. Some spicy hop. Maybe a bit muddled. Taste is biscuity sweet. Sticky mouthfeel. A tad heavy going. Trace of bitterness near the end. More Belgian than IPA.

Can. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Pale amber. Light haze. Bubbly, messy, sticky, just off white head. Nice, juicy, slightly dank, citrusy hoppage. Notes of pineapple and ripe red berry. Sweet, mint toffee malt backdrop. Smells great. Taste is light, orange zest bitter. A little sweetness. Crisp, clean, slightly sharp mouthfeel. Bitterness rises toward the end, staying citrusy and zesty. Very nice sessioner.
