Can thanks to Roddy. Appearance - golden yellow and lightly cloudy. White head. Nose - orange, orange zest and mango skin. Taste - ripe mango, sweet canned orange. Palate - creamy in texture and getting towards medium bodied. A touch sweet on the finish. Overall - a little on the sweet side but that's the style.

Can thanks to Roddy. Appearance - cloudy yellow to orange. Fluffy white head. Nose - orange or grapefruit plus sweeter tropical fruit. Taste - pineapple or melon, then orange/grapefruit zest. Palate - close to medium bodied, creamy texture with fairly balanced bitterness. Overall - good, and better balanced than most NEIPAs.

Can - tried a couple of times, an unofficial can from March and now an official from April. Shared with Ruslan. Hazy amber body, biiiig, lasting, thick white head. Orange, citruisy notes in the aroma, light piney notes, is that a vague phenolic touch too? Vague stone fruit touch, I mean, okay. Lean taste, bitterish, some light perfumey orange, a bit chalky, but clean. Fine, okay overall, but not more. The weakest of the three we'd had that day. The April version avoided an earthy note that the March staff can had.

On tap at Valhalla Craft Beer Bar, Zagreb. Shared with little Dina. Hazy golden, small head. Moderately to heavily hoppy, fruity, tropical, nice mango flavour, melon, some ripe fruit, orange, also apricot, good balanced, maybe a bit harsh. Flavour is slightly rough at first, just vaguely green, fruity hops, ripe fruit, herbal notes. Turns out nice and very fresh, with a wonderful ripe pear finish. Some bitterness, very drinkable, quite smooth, moderate carbonation, light dry finish.
