Poured from the tap @ The Drake. Murky pale yellow with small white head. Chalky yeast with feint coconut and pineapple. The fruitiness is nice, but ruined by the yeast soup.

Poured from the tap @ Craft Beer Market. Hazy dull blonde with small white head. Herbal hop with a slight grass note, feint rotten veg note, some muted dank tropical notes in the background (the only redeeming part of this). Bleh. Good chance it’s a dirty line issue.

Opaque and dullish colour. The hops are spicy, a bit oniony. Soft body. Light stone fruit. Lots of alcohol. Just a touch of hop burn. But for real, who makes a hazy DIPA and doesn't tell you what the fucking hops are?

473mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has dry coffee, medium toasted malt, and some earthiness. Flavour is dry, with earthy coffee, and toasted malt. Simple but clean dry stout. Meh.

473mL can. Pours deep brown with a beige head. Coffee and lactose on the nose. Flavour has roasted malt and coffee up front; a bit of green pepper as it warms. Reasonably full-bodied with nice depth, though the finish is a bit weak. Solid.

Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, tangerine, pineapple, passionfruit, mango, apricot, green grape, honeydew melon, earthy yeast and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 26 Nov 2024). Opaque blonde gold with small white head. Dank Nelson nose, taste is a bit more subdued, tropical hops, light juiciness, mild yeast soup quality, but decent.
