Can from Honest Brew. Light hazy yellow-gold with small white head, nice tight retention and lacing. Aroma of passionfruit, orange, citrus zest, caramel, touch of coconut. Nice. Taste is citrusy and zesty with mango, caramel and some coconut, modest bitterness. Light to medium bodied, smooth, soft carbonation. A well made session pale.

Can from Beer52, Pours a clear dark gold/light amber, moderate sized white head, nice retention and lacing. Aroma of stone fruits, blackcurrants, light earthiness, some metallic notes from the head. Taste is quite subtle, floral resin, blackcurrants, earth, light grassy bitterness. Its fine but I don't think this showcases British hops particularly well. Light to medium bodied, fine carbonation. Its ok.

Can from Beer52. Never had a bad beer from Gipsy Hill (this is my 13th) although never rated one a 4+ either. Lets see: Look: clear gold, small white head, decent retention. Nose: citrus, yeast, earthy, its ok but not really inviting. Taste: as per aroma really, citrusy but with a yeasty-earthiness although some nice floral and spice notes from the hops help to give contrast. Palate: light to medium bodied, oily. Fairly average in truth. I'm still getting used to Kviek IPAs and now we are getting Cold IPAs made with lager yeast at warm temperatures. Is the term 'cold' ironic? Anyway experimentation is great but not sure on this sub-style yet. I'll keep an open mind though.

Bottle shared at the CBJ BIG BOOSTY XMAS tasting, picked up from GH online, 13/12/23. Black with a tan cap that veers edgewards. Nose is chocolate, dried red berries, herb, dark malts, mellow roast. Taste comprises roast malts, liquorice, charr, spice, chocolate, dried fruit esters. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Not bad but lacking barrel.

330ml can. Hazy pale gold, small white head, thin retention. Aroma of citrus, papaya, flora; fairly fresh and hoppy. Taste is sweet chewy malts, hoppy citrus and tropical papaya notes a touch dry which ends up with a bittersweet finish. Nice soft carbonation. Pretty straightforward, lacks a bit of complexity, but nice IPA.
