Can from Stacks. Hazy ochre, small, white head. Aroma of ripe white grape, melon, pineapple, watermelon, orange popsicle, vague mint & rosemary, chalk, onion, cheese rind. Taste has sweet pineapple, melon & grape in a doughy, almost creamy malt body surrounded by dank sweet onion & cheese, a bit spicy too. Floral hops in the finish, lingering juicy stone fruit, dank onion and warming gin-like alcohol. Medium to full body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Intense and tasty, but just a tad more bitterness would have been welcome.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a rich and slightly ripe creamy sweetness. Light cooling pine into a hop spice nip. Ripe rich hop fruits, citrus and stone fruits, a little candy fruits. Finishes smooth and leaves a hop spice linger. Has that slightly predictable AT hop profile for me but, a good brew anyway and hides its QIPA credentials well.

Murky orange to light golden topped with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is grapefruit, melon, papaya, pine resin, grass.
Taste comprises bitter orange, grass, pine needle, mandarin, subtle hop spice, pineapple.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with juicy hop bitterness.
Okay DIPA if perhaps a touch sweet and lacking bitterness ... weighs in at the usual Adroit Theory 7.5/6 ... rarely do they push on and up to 8!
