Pours a clear amber colour with a small thin off-white head that settled. The aroma is light, some malts and a hint of hop. A moderately sweet taste, the flavour is all at the back end, sweet malts, caramel and fruit with a hoppy bitterness and a drying finish.

440ml can from Vinomondo, canned about 10 days before. Pours a hazy golden yellow, large white head. Big bright tropical mango aroma, juicy sweet, hazy even.. good firm bitterness, coming across quite fresh and fruity overall. Promising hazy IPA from such a traditional brewer. Could do with a bit more body, but hopefully a sign of more to come.

Cask @ Myrddin's, Barmouth. very little NZ hop notes coming through. Distant floral murmurs perhaps but expected more. October 12th 2021: 500ml bottle from the Purple Moose shop in Betws Y Coed. Pours a clear golden amber, small receding white foam head. Indistinct hop aroma. Taste presents a nicely rounded bitter, moderate dose of fragrant hops, some fruity moments with a soft bitterness. Ok.
