Can direct from the brewery. It pours clear pale - yellow gold with a small frothy white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, tangy, perfumed, minty, lemon verbena, tropical fruits, pineapple, Pina colada and bubblegum. The taste is dry and bitter upfront, green, weedy, herbal, spicy, floral, sweetens up quite a bit actually, tropical fruits, pineapple, mint, lemon verbena, powdered sugar, candy, hit of soap, crackery malt and hay with a dry, green finish. Light body and fine carbonation. Intriguing concept and I rather like the aroma. The taste is a bit sweet and muddled tbh. A fun experiment of sorts.

Medium body and fine carbonation. Rounded and quaffable. It could be done with a touch more carbonation, but I like it anyhow.

Can from Beer 52 – drank at home. Pours a bright copper with an enormous frothy off-white head than quickly evaporates, but does leave some lacing. Malts and pine plus a hint of oranges in the aroma. In the mouth there’s a brief burst of malty sweetness to starts, before it is overwhelmed by an avalanche of very bitter traditional hops, plus marmalade, pine and a trace of citrus. Bitterness lasts into the finish. This is MY kind of IPA – not your wishy washy grapefruit juice stuff ! Gorgeous.
