A cloudy, yellowish beer with a thin white head. The aroma is mild, moist, exotic fruit, citrus, and herbal notes. The taste is similar, with a distinct oatmeal flavor, some juiciness and citrus, and a low carbonation. The alcohol is rather well-hidden, but adds a bit of sharpness to the slightly herbal bitterness. For a DIPA, this is disappointing.

Clear and pale golden pint from keg, at The Grand Central, Brighton. Decent hops in aroma and flavour, but unfortunately the beer is ruined by strong notes of butterscotch / diacetyl, probably from dirty lines, and certainly not intentional. Would sample again from another pub with clean lines.

Keg at Heidrun, HWY, 27/12/2025.
Clear deep golden topped with an off white head.
Nose is orange peel, grass, straw, toasted grains.
Taste comprises melon, sweet edged, pale malts, straw, grains.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with a modest hop spattering.
Flabby mass produced affair ... poor effort from TR. I had a pint of Cwtch Christmas on cask in another pub next up after this and it shows they can still brew decent beer!

Draught keg at Tønne, Leicester. Light yellow gold and hazy with a very small uneven white head. Light aroma with orange peel, some vanilla malt, a hint of melon. Sweet taste, more melon and orange with a good malt base. Bitterness in the finish. Nothing special but solid, tasty. It does the business.

Robe claire légèrement voilée, mousse blanche fine mais éphémère. Nez très expressif, largement dominé par le fruit de la passion, presque explosif, avec une pointe d’agrumes. En bouche, peu de caractère blé perceptible, si ce n’est dans la texture : sensation douce, légèrement soyeuse. Attaque fruitée, très marquée par le fruit de la passion, qui écrase un peu le reste. Amertume modérée, plutôt nette, belle fraîcheur. Finale sur le fruit exotique, persistante. Une wheat IPA gourmande et aromatique, plus portée sur le houblon et le fruit que sur le blé.

A hazy, straw-colored beer with a white, quickly dissipating head. A delicate, semi-sweet aroma, bright citrus and exotic fruit. The taste is rather dry, malty, with a hint of wheat grain, and slightly fruity. Medium body, moderate carbonation. A good addition to a barbecue.
