Ramped up ABV 6.7% Tap @ Arbor, Bristol - Pours cloudy orange with a medium white foamy head. Medium carbonation. Nice lacing. Aroma - Sweet tropical notes - mango/papaya, hints of citrus - lemon and lime. Taste - Sweet as aroma forefront - tropicals, hints of citrus, light crisp bitter finish. Lovely single hop IPA which really shows off the best of the NZ hop. Just as good in bottle from Southville Deli, Bristol. One of these hop demons best in my opinion.

A 500ml bottle with a BB of April 2014, so it's rather out of date. I hope it's still good. Picked up a while back from Trembling Madness in York. Described on the label as a golden session ale hopped with NZ Motueka.
A: Poured into a tulip pint glass. Bottle conditioned. A very hazy golden-amber hue with plentiful fine sediment and medium carbonation. Yields a small head of white foam that lasts for a moment before subsiding.
S: Aroma of sharp fruity hops with hints of citrus, tropical fruit, white grape, grass/hay, earthy yeast and mild grainy malt. A whisper of sourness in the background. Nice.
T: Tastes of fruity aromatic hops with a dry finish. Notes of tropical fruit, lime, citrus, white grape, grass/hay, earthy yeast, grainy malt and faint stewed hops. Well-attenuated, followed by a crisp, leafy bitterness upon swallowing.
M: Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with soft carbonation and decent body. Slightly astringent, accompanied by an aftertaste of fruity hops, subdued leafy bitterness and earthy yeast.
O: A tasty brew from Arbor, though probably less intense than it would have been fresh. Oh well. Looks alright, if rather cloudy. Aroma and flavour are a pleasant blend of fruity hops, earthy yeast and mild grain. Body is OKish. Goes down easily enough - worth sampling if you chance across it.
