330 ml bottle. Hazy orange, foamy head. Lime juice, a lot of piney, spicy hops, unripe mango, papaya, pineapple. Hoppy bitterness with some fruity sweetness coming from the added mango. Medium to full bodied, oily texture, lively carbonated, dry hoppy bitter finish. Nice fruity hoppy Pale Ale, with some hop burn too.

Can picked up from Beerdome Webshop Grootegaste Netherlands and consumed at home Friday 14th November 2020 whilst cooking Lamb madras, Onion bhajis, Nan bread and listening to Shaun Keaveny on 6Music. Hazy golden appearance a white head atop. Sweet in fact rather too sweet, a little juicy but, I am getting very little of interest here.

Small to medium, dense, rather stable yellow head over fully hazy orange-ochre beer. Very fruity nose, hoppy fruitesters, rosewater, amandine, faint hints @ oxydation. More of the same, with an added, pretty serious bitterness, running into the aftertaste and becoming metallic, rather harsh (not very New England, that). Rosewater & oxydation remain present, but much less dominant seen all the hopbitterness. Something of spring leaves, blossoms too. Bit chewy, slick, high carbonation, near fizzzy. It does not fit its designation to perfection, but given its origins, it's at least meritorious.

Can at the flat in Varna - picked up from Teddy Beer. Pours unclear gold with a big, frothy white head. Medium sweet flavour, some rich tropical fruits, mango, peach, melon, tangerine, relaxed bitterness. Medium bodied with active, massaging carbonation. More juicy tropical fruits in the finish, some mango and papaya, nips of pine, supportive pale malts, mellow rindy bitterness. Solid.

330ml bottle. Hazy, orangey golden colour with average to huge, foamy to macropore, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Fruity aroma, notes of mango juice, fruity hoppy hints of passion fruit, unripe peach. Taste is bitter hoppy, juicy tropical fruity, notes of mango juice, a touch of passion fruit, unripe peach, some grassy hoppy overtones; peppery spicy yeasty and bitter hoppy finish. Mushy-watery texture, dry palate, rather lively carbonation. Rather monotonous, slightly overcarbonated - so-so.

330ml can. Hazy, orangey, bright golden colour with average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Rather weak, tropical fruity, hoppy aroma with soapy interference, cautious hint sof mango and passion fruit. Taste is juicy, tropical fruity hoppy, notes of passion fruit and mango, a touch of guava and papaya, subtle sweet- and tartness, peppery yeasty spicy overtones; minimally soapy finish. Slightly oily texture, smooth and soft palate, very fine, slightly prickly carbonation. Rather weak nose, not completely flawless, some nice tropical fruity flavours nevertheless; not really exhilarating - OK.
