Compulsory Fun
Left Handed Giant Brewing Co.

 

Pours a slightly cloudy pale golden amber coloration with a medium, frothy head. Smells of juicy tropical and citrus fruit notes: mango, papaya, orange, tangerine, with a hint of grassy dankness. Taste follows the nose, with a nice balance sweet juicy tropical and and slightly zesty citrus notes of mango, papaya, orange and tangerine, as well as a hint of biscuity malt, grassy dankness and pine. Finishes with a medium bitterness, light hop burn and some juicy fruit and light pine notes lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

A very nice IPA that veers heavily into NEIPA territory with its sweet and juicy tropical/citrus notes, but also packs a decent bitterness and lighter dank, resinous notes. Brewed with coriander seeds, allegedly, which I cannot taste at all though.

 

Collaboration with Magic Rock and Deya, 440 ml can Southville Deli, Bristol - Pours murky golden/orange with a medium white foamy head. Medium carbonation. Nice lacing. Aroma - Super juicy forefront - tropical fruits - papaya, mango, peach notes, sweet malty overtones. Taste - Sweet forefront - tropical fruits - mango, papaya, hints of citrus - pineapple, light resin overtones with a small hint of spice, very light bitter finish. Really nice fruit fronted IPA, a real juicy banger. If you like your fruity hops then check this out. One of the best for me in 2017.
