Can from Hop Vault, Stourbridge, online. Pours a very cloudy pale orange with small white head, circular retention. Aroma is quite floral, citrus zest, grapefruit, hints of spice. Taste is citrusy, zesty, grapefruit, soft malts, minerals leading to a dry finish with a decent bitter kick. Light bodied and refreshing with a good carbonation zing. Nice.

Can from lowcostbeer, consumed 1 month past BBE. Pours a cloudy dark gold with small white head. Piney aroma with floral and stone fruits coming through as well as a hint of the alcohol. Taste is quite fragrant and sweet, slightly potpourri without going too far. Also citrus zest, toffee and pine, spicy notes, dry bitter finish. Medium+ body. I could be wrong but it does feel like there is an element of sticking 6 hop varieties in and see what you get rather than trying to perfect. However it does lead to a depth of flavour which is good even if its only moderately tasty by DIPA standards.

Half on tap at the brewery. Mild hazy light pale with small consistent white head. Fruity aroma with citrus, dankness and pine. Taste of lime, pine, hop spice, decent bitter kick. Light to medium bodied, fine carbonation. Packs a nice punch for a low ABV pale.

440ml can and first from brewery. Hazy yellow, small creamy head, nice lacing. Aroma of herbs and funky hops, background citrus and fresh flora. Taste is fresh hops, citrus, pale malts, grass, herbs, semi-sweet and zesty. Light to moderate body, soft carbonation, could do with more zing. There is a hop freshness that is promising but doesn't quite get to the next level. Still quite nice.

440ml can from brewery. Pale gold , small white head, thin retention. Aroma of sweet pale malts with a fresh graininess coming through, lemon and floral hop, clean. Taste is semi-sweet, clean malt profile with grain, grass, lemon, moderately crisp finish. Light bodied and refreshing. In consideration of Mexican style lager, this is certainly a lot better than Sol! At around £3.80 a can though I don't think I will be buying a crate of these for the fridge come the summer, not that I'll be buying Sol either.

440ml can from brewery. Hazy orange, small white head, nice retention. Aroma of floral and earthy vegetation, sweet notes, light stone fruit; interesting. Taste is sweet malts, floral, citrus zest, apricot, resinous and earthy with a long moderate bitterness. Medium body, oily, zingy carbonation. Interesting hop combination here. Enjoyable but maybe not to everyone's taste.
