[33cl can from Beer52.] A hazy amber pour with a thin white head; aroma of pine and citrus; big burst of hops in the mouth, with pine resin, tropical fruit and black pepper; and a tart lip-smacking finish. Just how an IPA should be.
Excellent Ipa, lots of pineapple and resiny flavours, balanced bitterness. Pours a lifeless weak orange cordial colour, but it’s super fresh and very pleasant.
Mini tasting session with myself, at home on 20th Nov 2020. 330ml can from Beer52; BB 9th Oct 2021. Light haze to the golden body, thin white head. Hoppy from start to finish, both citrus and piney notes in the nose and taste, not too bitter though, liked it, the first beer of 5 in my little tasting session.
Golden pour with a light pale froth. Aroma; pineapple and pine cones. Taste; hop explosion, citrus and pineapple notes - slightly perfumed.
Strong IPA - not much more to say.
From Beer52 had at Polin Croft Nov 2020. 330ml can. A very nice IPA at 6.8%
Hazy straw with minimal head. Some subtle tropical aroma. A little creamy but with a muddy aftertaste. Wanted to like this, but it's not for me
Creamy white head stayed on a hazy vivid gold body.
Light malt & American hops aroma.
Medium bodied, soft with smooth cloying back.
Bitter, grapefruit, confectionery & peach tastes with piney finish.

From a shop in Whitstable
Piwo w kolorze herbaty klarowne z obfitą pianą która całkiem ładnie zdobi szkło. Aromat owoców cytrusowych plus trochę chmielu. W smaku wytrawne, goryczka na dość dużym poziomie. Niezłe aczkolwiek trochę jednostronne

Clássica IPA inglesa. Coloração alaranjada com espuma branca persistente. Aroma levemente cítrico e bem lupulado. Corpo baixo com maracujá e manga no início, seguido por amargor intenso e persistente no retrogosto pedindo novo gole.
Bottle at home. Huge hops, citrus and pine, caramel malts, bitter. Medium body. Very tasty.
Good IPA, coming from somebody that is not into it so much.
Has a nice herbal nose. The taste is dry and a little fruity. Well balanced and strong. Not a day to day beer for me but has a personality of it’s own.
