Vocation Love & Hate 7.2%

Vocation Love & Hate 7.2%

This is the 7.2% version at least sold in 440ml cans (Sept 2018) and different to the 5% Session IPA.



Traditionalists love beer that’s crystal clear, with restrained hops, and a delicate flavour. They’re going to hate this… Love & Hate is our juicily crushable, unapologetically murky, New-England pale ale. An authentic Vermont yeast strain and a big dose of oats work together with our triple dry-hopping process to create beautiful aromas and a silky mouthfeel.

Unconventional. Uncompromising. We love it.

3.9 Can from Tesco. Hazy pour with good head. Piney hops, quite bitter, some minerals, lots of citrus. Really nice beer.
3.6 On my walk back from Crouch Hill Station after the GGBBF: a welcome relief in the shape of a 0,44 can from Tesco at Crouch End: piney, citrussy and very refreshing, especially as all the watering holes were closed.
4.4 18-05-2022; can; at Tesco supermarket in Edinburgh, Schotland. The beer looks very nice. The colour is a nice pale yellow, almost a bit whitish. The beer is extremely cloudy and hazy. Nice, the way it should look like. On top there is a nice layer of frothy white foam. Foam retention is average. A nice drape is left on top of the beer. Some nice lacing is left on the glass. Looking good. The aroma is nice. It is interesting. The malts are very pure. They give malty and grainy aromas, bready, some caramel and biscuit. Very nice and rich. Hops give nice aromas too. Citrus-fruits like grapefruit, orange and a touch of lemon with their zest. There are also nice aromas of mango and passionfruit. A minimal piney note is present too. Quite nice! The taste of the beer is also lovely. Bitter hops, sour fruity note and nice sweet fruits, malts and alcohol. The beer is pretty well balanced. The mouthfeel of the beer also is nice. Medium body, a texture absolutely smooth as silk and medium carbonation. The finish of the beer is nice and filled with loads of citrus fruits, but also that nice malty note. All in all, in really is a nice beer. Well brewed.
3.6 Totally murky, light yellow beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has fruitness, grapefruit, pineapple, some herbs. Taste has grapefruit, fruitness, some herbs. Medium bodied. Pretty nice.
4.1 (Can) Pours opaque murky yellow gold with short lived good white head. Lovely juicy citrus fruity aroma. Full bodied with interesting texture and nice bright carbonation. Excellent taste. Starts off like fruit juice with nice tanginess and some fruity sweetness developing in the mid palate. This is then joined and ultimately displaced by some lovely hoppy bitterness. An excellent beer.
3.0 Per essere 7,2% se la cava bene e dà un'impressione di maggiore leggerezza. Però l'alcol dopo qualche sorso viene fuori e sovrasta il piacevole agrume che si percepisce all'inizio. Retrogusto amaro nei limiti
3.7 Orange 440ml can: BB 19th November 2022. Drank at home on 15th April 2022. Not as orange as the can, but getting that way, hazy of course, decent white head on top. Tropical fruity nose and a semi-sweet citrussy flavour, nice easy going 7.2 ABV Fruit Cocktail.

3.9 Cloudy gold,frothy white head, mango, pineapple, light citrus aroma, medium body, smooth, tropical, pine in the background, bitter finish decent
4.0 440ml can. Hazed gold appearance, good white head. Perfect 7.2% IPA, fresh and flavoursome with a solid balanced exotic fruit character.
4.4 Looks fucking delicious. Smells like fermented passion fruit - in a really good way. Lovely mouth feel. I'm tumescent with excitement at how deliciously smooth this is. Suble tropical fruits on the palate - lovely balanced fruit and hop flavours. Bloody hell this is good. Oh. I just came.
3.7 Can from Tesco. Hazy orange gold pour with moderate sized white head, nice retention. Aroma of mango and pineapple with a slight earthiness. Smooth, tropical and citrus peel notes with a slight piney bitterness throughout. Good
4.0 Gul tåkete Me hvitt skum. Lukter grapefrukt, stenfrukt og rått kjøtt. Fruktig og bitter. Barnål, drueskall, mango og lys stenfrukt. Lang.
3.7 Can, 7.2%. Hazy yellow with medium white head. Aroma is malt, fruit, hop, citrus and tropical fruits. Flavour is malt, fruit, hop, citrus, medium sweet, tropical fruit, fruit peel and a little bitter.
3.7 44 cl. can @ home, served in a teku glass, best before: 2022/04/25 Aroma: medium intensity aromas of mango, tropical fruits, passion fruit, hints of grapefruit, citrus, cereals, malts. Appearance: pale yellow color with slightly off-white foam made of small bubbles which grow to become medium sized ones, medium head thickness, very high retention, high Brussels' lacing, very high haziness. Taste: low to medium sweetness, medium bitterness, no sourness. Flavors of tropical fruits, grapefruit, citrus, mango, passion fruit, hints of cereals, malts, toasted malts, tangerine, bitter orange. Balance is slightly toward the bitterness but it is not harsh or unpleasant, sweeter at first and increasingly bitter toward the finish. Mouthfeel: medium body, watery to slightly silky texture, low carbonation, long dry finish with medium bitterness and the aforementioned flavors. Alcohol is extremely well hidden and only noticeable because of its mouth and throat warming. Astringency is not noticeable. Hop burn is low. Overall: good appearance, powerful aromas and flavors of tropical fruits, mango, passion fruit, hints of grapefruit, citrus, cereals, malts, tangerine, bitter orange. Tasty, drinkable and thirst quenching. Quite good. The bitterness is too much for the style.
3.6 Bière blonde dorée trouble avec mousse blanche qui tient . Un nez très fruité et doux. Au goût 9n reste dans le très doux, pas d'amertume le fruit y est présent. On ne sent pas l'alcool. Bonne bière
4.2 Many cans over lockdown with Mal. We love this. Hazy golden orange, massive fruit aromas. Mango, pineapple, citrus bitterness. Silky juicy mouthfeel. What's not to love?
3.1 Very hazy yellow colour, murky. Aroma of peach, tropical fruit. Thick palate. Taste is sweet, creamy, mildly bitter fruity finish. Cannot taste the 7.2% alcohol. Good beer
3.7 440ml can. Poured a hazy straw colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, tropical citrus, stone fruit. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a crisp, grainy, light mineral, juicy citrus, light pepper spice, dry, light floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
3.7 Buena IPA, potente, alcohólica, suave y sedosa. Huelen los lúpulos a distancia. Piña, mango, melón y resinas.
4.0 Can at Home Murky pale yellow. Pine 🎍, pineapple 🍍, mango, tropical 🍹 fruits. Juicy, fruity. Pretty good. Purchased at Vinoteca Las Barricas
4.0 Llauna Hopt. Bomba de fruita, ben carregada de llúpol. Mango, préssec, pinya, notes citriques. Final amarg agradable
3.6 44 cl. can at home. Bought at Fish-n-Beer. High fluffy white lasting head. Hazy dark yellow body. Acidic sweet mango grapefruit aroma. Dry and dusty acidic grapefruit pine flavor with a fair amount of hops bitterness, low carbonation and a long dry and bitter finish.
3.8 Dåse: Gul helt diset øl med fint tætsiddende skumhoved. Duften er tropejuice men med noget citrus. Smagen er mere bitter end normalt men igen med flest tropiske humlenoter. Alkoholen er tydelig på bagkanten. Fin fin øl.
4.0 Couleur jaune; mousse blanche; arôme et goût bien fruités (ananas, mangue) avec finale moyennement amère
4.0 En copa, cerveza totalmente túrbia con una fina capa de espuma blanca. Aroma intenso a frutas de hueso como melocotón y albaricoque, junto con cítricos, piña, mango, pino, resina, y lúpulo fresco. En boca, textura ligeramente espesa y sedosa al paladar, de carbonatación baja y amargor muy intensa en garganta que perdura tiempo tras el trago. Sabor seco a piel de naranja amarga, melocotón maduro, piña, albaricoque, mango, avena, toneladas de lúpulo y un fondo resinoso. Una NEIPA cargada con cantidades ingentes de lúpulo que juntan aromas y ssbores frutales con resina y lúpulo fresco. Brutal.
4.5 Can at home. This was something special. Opening the can gave me a fresh and fruity aroma of oranges and it didn't go away. Lots of fruity hops on the tongue, but a gentle bitterness to keep things fresh. The mouthfeel was as smooth as silk and the alcohol just added to the whole package. Lovely. P.S. I can't stop buying this stuff I love it so much.
3.6 1 finger white head, yellow lemon juice colour, cloudy as you like. Medium carbonation. Nose of mango pineapple and loads of tropical fruit. Taste of Lemon, Grapefruit, Citrus fruit with a element of pine. Lingering bitter finish light to medium body.

3.7 Cloudy beer, very close to yellow. Stacked with sediment. Citrus aroma with a hint of salt. Citrus taste with orange flavours as well, also has a floral/botonical kick to it. Medium bodied.
