I really tried to like this as I'm keeping an open mind on Pale Ales of any sort but this just sucked and fell flat to bitter compared to other ipas that I've had definitely not for me but can understand the appeal

355ml can poured into tulip.

Pours a deep hazy gold with one finger of off-white head that leaves some cool spiderweb lace as it recedes.

Smells of candied orange peel, lemon marmalade, juicy guava and mango, biscuity caramel malt, wet stone and piney, citrusy hops.

Tastes of more sugary citrus rind, lemon meringue pie, more mixed tropical fruit, cooling biscuits, flinty water and more sappy pine resin. A bit of warming alcohol.

Feels soft and round. Medium bodied with frothy carbonation. Finishes a bit sticky.

Verdict: Highly recommended. A pleasant summer evening sipping beer.
