500ml bottle. Aroma is strong mango, peach, hay. Flavour is tropical mango, resinous, caramel, quite bitter. This is a really nice IPA. It’s strange that whilst this is a beer most breweries would be proud to have in their standard range, it feels somewhat of a let down as part of a special one off series. It’s not fun or new, it’s just a really nice IPA.

500ml bottle. Pours sickly pale with no head. Aroma is sweat, soap, bread. Not great. Once it gets to the mouth things improve a lot. Slick, refreshing body. Flavours of peach, coriander, mandarins, caramel. It’s light and drinkable because of the wheat malt and it’s really quite refreshing. Close to being very good.

Bottle shared at Hair of the dog, Phrom Phong. Clear amber with an off white head. Aroma of huge caramel malt, way too much for the style, citrus, tropical fruits, orange peel and woody bites also coming out. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Light medium bodied with a juicy resinous hop coating palate and soft carbonation.
