Medium sweet flavor with jammy berries, ripe fruits, orange, some sugary bread and toffee. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sugary finish, lightly alcoholic, with more ripe berries, bread and caramel. Some bruised banana, sugary and doughy brown bread. Basic. Pretty average overall.

Bottle split at the Leightonators gaff, shared by he, 02/09/14. Clear rich golden with a decent off white head that stays to party. Nose is caramel malt, bitter orange, straw, citric peel, light bread dough. Taste comprises orange pith, straw, hint of grapefruit, less caramel than on the nose, melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light hop bitterness. Ok, lacks hop presence for an IPA.

Bottle shared at Chrisso’s May 2014 tasting 25/05/2014. Thanks to Paul. Clouded light yellow coloured pour witha a fine halo of white head. Looks like pineapple juice. Aroma is Slighlty stale malts, banana yeast phenols. Flavour is earthy and grainy, some farmyard notes, banana and dull malts. Fine effervescent carbonation, dry and grainy on the tongue. Pretty dull overall.

On tap at The Hop & Berry Islington. Hazy gold lasting off white head. tropical fruit aroma. Tropical fruit in the mouth that is really quite exciting. it’s got some earthiness to it but it’s still pretty impressive. too carbonated. Too fizzy. But first day of pub. Man you need to loose the carbonic acid on this beer. Tropical fruit is good though.
