Can from Good Spirit Co. It pours hazy orange - amber with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, stewed orange, peach, sticky and candy. The taste is crisp, bitter orange, grapefruit, pithy citrus, peppery spice, grass and resin with a dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Not as good as the pale ale in my opinion.

Can from Good Spirit Co. It pours cloudy golden with a thick white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, tropical fruits, big pineapple character, cracker, grass and straw. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter, pineapple, banana, grapefruit, nectarine, straw and grass with a dry finish. Light - medium body and moderate carbonation. Fresh, bright and quaffable. A great start for these guys.

Can thanks to Jonny the brewer. Appearance - golden with a slight haze. It gets slightly darker as the remains of the can go in. Nose - mango and grapefruit. Taste - more on the citrus side. There’s a long bitter resin note on the finish. A little spice too. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry bitter finish. Overall - this one peaks on nose. The bitterness is slightly too much for my palate though I probably don’t speak for the mass of ipa drinkers.

Can sample thanks to Jonny. Appearance - this was fairly clear until we realised at the end of the can that it was can conditioned or at least canned with the yeast. Then cloudy yellow with a nice fluffy head. Nose - could smell pineapple even as Evilkniamhel was opening it. Then resin and grass. Taste - more tropical and citrus. Quite a lot of malt at the back. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - this is more malty than a golden ale but not quite as malty as an American Pale Ale. I’d place this as session IPA to be honest.
