440ml can from a supermarket somewhere (Morrisons if I recall correctly). Looks good in the glass, slight cloudy haze to a golden body, pure white head. Moderate, balanced exotic hop, hints of lemon.. pineapple maybe.. good bitter finish. Nice haze overall.

Can picked up from Sainsbury's, Hereford after Annasley picked us up from the station, cheers Annasley!. Had this Friday 27th February 2026 around Jude and Baz's, Spond, Herefordshire we cooked a Chicken Tikka Masala. Pours a hazy/murky yellow/gold colour with a slim sticky white head, hoppy nose, plenty of citrus some peachiness, maybe a bit of apricot but yeah another nice beer from St Ives. Score 7.6

Can picked up from Sainsbury's, Hereford after Annasley picked us up from the station. Had this shared with Baz. 26th February 2026 around Jude and Baz's, Spond, Herefordshire whilst making Pizza, well Loz is making it I am just assisting. Pours hazy, murky, warm yellow/gold, white soft textured head, the aroma is mostly citrus dominant, there's grapefruit and sweet orange but also a tropical leaning, taste followingva similar trajectory, a little bitterness. Nice DIPA, wow that's two Cornish beers for me today. Score 7.5

440ml can gifted by the brewery. Hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of orange and grapefruit, passionfruit, pine resin. Taste of grapefruit, passionfruit, peach, a little bit of coconut cream, piney hop bitterness to finish. Medium bodied, smooth.
Wasn't sure about this one at first but definitely grew on me. A well balanced IPA.

440ml can, gifted by the brewery. Hazy yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of malts, fruity hops. Taste has that telltale AF twang, pale malts, very bready, fruity hops, light bitterness. Medium body, good for AF.
Meh, not a great recreation of the full strength version.

440ml can, gifted by the brewery. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma of orange marmalade, resinous. Taste is full on orange marmalade, quite resinous too, sweet malts, caramel, grapefruit, a bit of pine, bitterness is fine but for me it should really be a lot stronger for the style, does come through more as the beer goes on though. Medium bodied.

440ml can (gifted by brewery). Pours a murky golden orange with a white head, some sediment. Aroma of orange, grapefruit, tropical fruits. Taste is sweet, orange, grapefruit, papaya, mango, chewy malts, good piney bitterness at the end. Medium-full bodied.
Nice DIPA, has a bit of an old school lean about it which I always appreciate.
