Bottle split at L42, from an IP thanks to Explosive Doge, 05/01/18. Very light haze on a golden pour with a decent off white covering. Nose is soft citric flesh, orange pith, straw, mango, light pine dusting. Taste comprises fleshy citrics, grassy bite, pine needle, spice, mango pulp, orange peel, toasted breads. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close peppered with hop bitterness. Ok DIPA if a touch dry.

Growler from Liquorland Newmarket. Pours murky bright yellow. Orange juice, grapefruit, lemon peel, pineapple juice, a touch of resin, a nice syrupy sweetness and a pronounced bitterness too. Lovely.
