Murky yellow colour, good cloudy white head and lace. Aroma is hayish with some fruityness. Light to medium-bodied. Citrus, fruits and hay but quite dry. Some gooseberry bush in the finish. Probably needs to be very fresh, this is 4-5 months old?

Can 330ml (BGz, BB 09/2018, V007)
Hazy orange colour, small white head and some lace. Citrus, mango and some strawberry in the nose. Light to medium-bodied. Flavour has also some unwanted strawberry jam. Otherwise citrus, pineapple, spicey hoppyness. Drinkable but competition is tough among these kind of beers.

Can 330ml (BGz, BB 10/2018)
Murky yellow-orange colour, good cloudy off-white head and lace. Juicy, piney, hop pellety aroma. LIght to medium-bodied. Quite juicy with citrus, pine and even some resin. Also fruityness. Some hop pelletyness too. This is more piney-resiny than tropical fruity DDH. With 5,4% easy going apa (in DDH standards).

Can picked up from Beer Gonzo Webshop, Earlsdon, Coventry, consumed at home sat down the garden by the pond after doing some wire brushing and then painting. Sunday 20th May 2018. Just about to start cooking Suquet (a Spanish fish stew) Pours hazy dirty yellow with a mid sized white head. You start with a hint of citrus, sweet grapefruit perhaps but this is soon overtaken by a juicy tropical blast. Lovely A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 3.9
