Can from House Of Trembling Madness: murky deep golden body with an off-white head that holds well. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of peach, caramel and lemon sponge. Flavour of peach yoghurt, mango and apricot. Medium to full body with a chewy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Fruity and slightly sweet.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, a decent bubbly pale cream colour head but it doesn't last. Light palate, a very mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a fair creamy sweetness, not overdone but not shy fer sure. The hops are bring crisp cooling pine and juicy stone fruits and tropical fruits. Bright citrus but, underneath everything else. A little hop spice nip on the fairly crisp finish. Pretty quaffable but, I didn't enjoy this as much as any of the single hop affairs.

Panda from Colin. Cheers. Hazy orange. Foamy white head on a stick. Aroma has bitter citrus, herbs, spice, onion. Fruity. Flavourwise it has a big sweet yet boozy fruit. Peripheral bitterness - resin, spice and herbs and onion. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice for sure.

500ml can. Murky golden with a white head. Aroma of overripe tropical fruits, sweet and slightly savoury. Taste is sweet, overripe mango and stone fruits, slightly savoury. Medium bodied.
Another solid addition to the series, yet still not hitting the heights of the original Citra one.

Can. A light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, decent fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Smooth pale malts, a nice creamy sweetness. Soft pine intro to the Mosaic. Very good juicy mango fronted stone fruits. Mild hop spice. Nice dipa. However, if you told me this was Krush, I'd believe you. Not picking up any blueberry or candy fruits! But, as a rather drinkable dipa - spot on.

Can. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. A light and smooth palate, with decent fine minerally carbonation developing on the back end. Soft creamy sweet malts, not oversweet. Nice Strata hops - actual passion fruit, clear if not that loud. Soft pine. A generic hop fruit backdrop. Only a mild skunk before a light finish. Not the punchiest in this series but it does a great job of bringing out the passion fruit character of the hop. Mild hop spice on the smooth finish. Yeah, nice job.
