The first wiff was the best part of the beer.

473ml can - I do believe that the name here sez it all.
This beer pours a damned-near opaque, dark apricot yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, very loosely foamy, and fizzy dirty white head, which leaves but a few instances of sudsy remote islet lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, melted mango and/or guava ice cream, a further generic citrus fruitiness, and some plain earthy, musty, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, dried mango peel, some orange, red grapefruit, and aged lemon peel, cold cream, a hint of damp minerality, and more leafy, weedy, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, but for a touch of hop astringency perhaps putting a minor damper on things at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malty and frooty essences contending with some lingering hoppy edginess.
Overall - this comes across as a pleasant enough rendition of this IPA sub-style, definitely milkshake-esque. Lots of hop flavour, and not all that bitter, so easy to put back whilst enjoying the sunshine on a day off in lieu afternoon.
