Can ordered from the brewery. Dark Opaque-hazy gold. Thick fluffy foamy white head. Aroma has sweet fruit and floral notes. A sour edge. The flavour then twists the sourness up to 11. Vinous but fruity. Passionfruit. Underlying sugary sweetness. Full of fruit. Floral elements from the camomile. Light-medium bodied. Slick..Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. The issue here is that I am not a passionfruit fan so a pumped up Passionfruit fruit Sour IPA doesn't donit for me but I suspect that a passionfruit (and sour).fan would appreciate this beer.

Can bought at FarFarOut, Southsea. A Pale.hazy gold..Thick foamy somewhat translucent white head. The aroma is sweet and fruity with a citrus streak and bitter woody periphery. The flave is similar. Initial sweet juicy fruit, with a sugary streak. Citrus. An underlying bitterness which is more prominent into the finish. Slightly watery element. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Decent low ABV other than a tad watered down side to it.

500ml can. Murky golden, big white head. Aroma of candied tropical fruits, mango, guava, papaya. Taste is sweet, tropical, guava, papaya, lychee, mango, peach, almost no bitterness to counter all that sweetness. Full bodied, creamy, smooth. This is really good, delicious in fact, but my word the sweetness... I don't know what they changed but none of the single hop ones had this issue, if it weren't so sweet this would easily be a 9/10.

Can ordered from the brewery. An opaque pale gold. Frothy white head disappeared almost instantly. Aroma is enticing. Sweet fruit and vanilla. A sour edge and herbal hints. Initial sour tart hit. Dry cider-esque. Followed up by the smoothing effect of sweet vanilla. Vinous edge with herbs/spice. Light. Thin but slick. Average carbonation attempts a limping fizz. Long dry astringent finish. For some reason this was sat in the understairs cupboard - can too high to fit upright in the fridge - and it just hadn't appealed to me. However it turned out to be enjoyable and refreshing.

Can ordered from the brewery. Opaque-hazy bright orange. Sans head. Aroma is apricot led, with pineapple, a light vinousness and latterly a marshmallow hit of sweetness. Medium sour. The sourness is somehow short-lived. Apricot exceeds pineapple. Vinous. Peripheral sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. A tad fizzy. Long dry finish. An overly polite Sour.

Аромат в стиль кислинький, есть цитрусовая мякоть и некоторую цедру, есть ананасы с ванилью, как будто намеки на груша и яблочки. Цвет прям прозрачный, пенки почти нету, быстро падает очень. Вкус в стиль, снова груши, яблоки и цитрусы, все это в ванили, немного ананасиков. Просто неплохая кислая ипашка.
