Appearance- hazy golden, plenty of bubbles, a huge off-white head which gradually settles. Aroma- grassy hops, plenty of peach, summer fruits, peach dominates. Taste- bitter hops, zesty fruit, peach runs throughout, hints of orange and pineapple. Juicy mouthfeel.

Frothy white head bubbled on a hazy, reddish golden body. Banana, nectarine & tea aromas. Medium bodied, well carbonated. Clean on the back. Dry. Bitter fruity tastes with spices, lemon, pith & an almost sour, bitter aftertaste.

Can from the Vineyard, Belfast. Appearance - cloudy amber with a decent fluffy head. Nose - mango straight up! Light pungent overripe thing. A touch of earth. Taste - more mango, some resin and plant stalks. A touch of lime pith on the finish. Palate - close to medium bodied. Nice dry and lightly tangy texture. This follows through to the finish. Overall - it's beer of the day. We're not finished but based upon the previous stuff, I cant see anything beating this one.

Can thanks to Ashton McCobb. Pours hazy golden with a thin white head. Aromas of mango and tropical fruit, citrus. Taste is bitter, juicy fruits, pithy. Solid.

Can from the Vineyard, Belfast. Appearance - opaque black with a nice fawn head. Nose - burnt coffee, pine and plant stalks. Taste - creamy chocolate and coffee bean. Blackcurrant on the end. Palate - medium bodied and creamy. Dry finish. Overall - tastes a lot better than it smells. Interesting and good. Not really doing the black ipa style, mind.

Bottle from the Vineyard, Belfast. Appearance - cloudy brown. Nice lacy head. Nose - tonnes of peach, possibly even closer to nectarine. Taste - loads of nectarine. Resin at the back. Palate - close to medium bodied. Dry resin finish. Overall - quite one dimensional, big bitter finish. Good though.

Bottle thanks to Ashton McCobb. Pours hazy golden orange with a thin white head. Strong peach and nectarine aromas. Creamy texture. Lots of fruit on the taste as well. But one-dimensional, but nice enough.

Bottle from Tesco, Enniskillen [300717]
Copper, crystal clear, bubbly white head, slight lacing
Aroma of caramel malts, slight fruits
Taste of soft caramel, very light earthy hops, touch of dark fruits, maybe a hint of raisin, dull malt flavour, bland for abv
Palate - Very soft carb, medium light body, light sweet. Finish asmain flavour, soft caramel, rapid finish
Overall - It’s fine to make a beer with low amount of hops, but this needs more malts, too dull flavour for abv
