Can at home, shared with James, 15th March 2026. Pours a hazy yellow. Aroma is tropical fruits and taste is sweet, mangos and citrus. Nice, but I found it on the sweet side

500ml can. Murky golden with a creamy white head. Aroma of ripe peaches, papaya, dank fumes. Taste of ripe juicy peaches, apricot, papaya, dank herbal notes and a bit of citrus. Full bodied. Quality, best Universe beer since Citra for me.

Can bought at FarFarOut, Southsea. Hazy orange. Thick foamy white head. Aroma has herbs and a light vinous notes over fruit and chewy malts. Flavourwise it's got tangy stone fruit and citrus, with a more bitter-sour herbal and vinous. Big Sweet dollop in there. Thick. Creamy. Slightly pithy. Long dry astringent finish. Good.

Nose is guava, mandarin, papaya, pine tickle, grass, mango flesh.
Taste comprises stone fruit, nectarine, pine resin, mango, mandarin.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come resinous hop bitterness.
Tidy DIPA if just a little overly sweet.

Some fruity sweetness. Underlying porridge. Spice. Dank. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Decent stuff.

Can bought at FarFarOut. Looks a pale lightest yellow milkshake. A few bubbles froth on top. Aroma has a sweetness like condensed milk with light pineapple. A tad sour. Flavourwise it's kinda odd but in a good way. Again, sweet and milky with light more peripheral pineapple including a hint of sourness. Thick and creamy. A light fizz of carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Nice but just nice.

Incredibly smooth. The vanilla is subtle but noticeable. Some chocolate. Sweet but not overly so.

Tried with a My Father The Judge cigar listening to Wolf Alice.

19th February 2026
Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Fairly smooth start to the palate with good fine minerally carbonation taking over, a mild dryness. Light pale malts, a good creamy sweetness, not overdone. Peacharine delivers light smooth pine and a mild but persistent hop spice nibble. Light juicy peach, slightly floral. Very mild and tangy Nectarine on the back end that also brings a mild bitterness. A disappointment to be frank, I mean it's a good dipa and I enjoyed it but, in my head, this was going to be stellar and, it never quite reached those heights. Had better Peacharine DIPAs recently. Maybe this could do with a week or three. I'll update this if my 2nd can develops.
