Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Murky golden/bronze body with a thick off-white head that holds well. No visible carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of melon, dried mango, vine tomato and passionfruit. Flavour follows the aroma - lots of tropical fruit notes and a hoppy finish. Medium to full body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is as good as I hoped it would be.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 23/05/2026.
Murky orange topped with a lasting just off white head.
Nose is grassy, dank, raw tropicana, light herbal notes.
Taste comprises raw pineapple, chalky minerals, grass, dank chimes, grapefruit.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with danko come grassy hop bitterness.
Not really doing it for me overly raw and lacking balance.

Can. A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a good light and smooth creamy sweetness. Light cooling pine into good juicy stone fruits and slightly ripe tropical fruits. Smooth rounded citrus fills in the background. Light finish, cooling pine carrying over. A fairly smooth dipa. Good broad spectrum hop fruitiness. Bright citrus, stone fruits, slightly ripe mango. Airy finish, mildly dry. Good fruity dipa.

Хороший дабл нью ингланд, но точно не лучший. Нету идеального баланса и нотки хмеля весьма обычные с легким бернингом от цитрусов. Просто хорошо.
