500ml can. Murky golden, white head. Aroma of ripe mango, pineapple, grapefruit. Taste is sweet and fruity, ripe pineapple, mango, grapefruit, orange. Medium bodied, smooth. A great DIPA, yet that Citra one they did still reigns supreme.

24th July 2024 Can. Hazy orange gold beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth creamy sweet malts, a nice light mouthfeel, never feels thin but neither does it feel over sweet pillowy. Light crisp pine. Bright juicy orange and mandarin. Mild peel. A little citrus peel. Sweeter and juicier citrus on the back end. A touch of that modern Simcoe pineapple, slightly ripe. Very light savoury hop and hop spice. A rather nice Simcoe dipa then. Richly juicy hop fruity.
