Really good DIPA, from a brewery I'm happy we can get again quite easily (fucking Brexit). Dank hops and a bitter, dry finish.

Can from Beer52. Pours a semi-hazed yellow-gold with nice white foam. Aroma has a decent freshy hop with citrus, green mango, pineapple, leaf, pine and spice. Taste has less intensity than the aroma suggests probably due to the low ABV. Pleasant and tasty though with soft malts, citrus, mango, light leafiness. 'I'm not going to pave the jungle for you'. I read this as 'With the low margins Beer52 give us we are not going to make a super hoppy beer so just accept what you are given, peasant.' Fair enough.

330ml panda. Mostly clear yellow-gold with thin white top. Aroma of lemon, light malts. Taste of tart lemon and white grape, hay and wheat. Certainly refreshing, no off notes. Nothing that stands out though.

Can from Beer52. Enjoyable, pleasant refreshing pale ale. Good for the weather we have been having in the UK. Look: Clear amber with small white head which thins out quite quickly. Nose: grapefruit, citrus peel, light floral earthiness and some spice; decent freshness to it. Taste: Has a mellow fruitiness with orange and grapefruit notes, some maltiness, semi-drying finish with a nice spiciness. Quite mild in the bitterness for a West Coast style. Palate: light to medium bodied, nice fine carbonation. Has a refreshing quality without being too light.

Can from Honest Brew. A murky looking amber with moderate off-white head, nice retention. Aroma of apricot, mango, doughy malts, slightly herbal, pineapple. The big notes I found in the taste are mango, herbs, yeast and doughy malts but also some pine resin, pineapple, and light spice, minor sourness in the finish with a moderate bitter kick. Medium bodied and soft carbonation works well. A little bit yeasty and dough noted but there is quite a bit going on here. I like it.

Can from lowcostbeer @ 8%, consumed 6 weeks past BBE. Pours a hazy orange, with small white head. Tropical aroma with mango being most prominent, some pineapple chunks, slight medicinal note. Taste is very juicy and pithy with tropical fruit and orange, some pine and slight medicinal note although less notable compared to aroma. Quite sweet with a decent bitterness to offset with a tangy finish. Lovely smooth, medium to full bodied, soft tingly catrbonation. Very nice. Best of the 8 boundary beers I have had to date.

Can from lowcostbeer, consumed 2 months past BBE. Look: pours a hazy orange-gold, small white head Nose: Dank cannabis aroma with citrus and pine. Taste: dank, weedy, slightly medicinal, lime, passionfruit, resin, pine bitterness. I don't mind a slight dankness in my IPAs but a full on version is not my thing although there is a nice level of complexity here. Palate: Smooth medium body, quite a zingy carbonation.

Can from Beer52. Pours a light hazy orange-gold with small white head. Aroma of lime, malt, light earthy-funk. Taste of pale malt, citrus, straw, earthy, dry finish. Light bodied but not watery, refreshing. Not much too this but has reasonable sessionability.
