A soft and smooth New England IPA made with our house pale malt, rolled oats and chit malt to provide a gentle, soft and pillowy body. Azacca and Mosaic ooze with sweet sticky passion fruit, overripe mango and freshly squeezed orange juice and crushed pine needles with Sabro providing its unmistakable qualities of fresh lime zest, coconut and a touch of spice on the finish.

440ml can.
L: Opaque, yellow/orange with two fingers of fluffy head that collapses to a thick cap and leaves rings of lacing.
S: Fresh citrus and juicy tropical fruit.
T: Yellow grapefruit, orange, lime and coconut. Nicely pithy and gently herbal.
F: Full/medium body with a smooth mouthfeel and a gently dry finish.
O: A hazy, juicy, subtly dank NEIPA from Leeds, England. Good stuff.
———————————————
Considerable improvement on my first tasting in July 2022. That one was kind of thin and bland. This one has much more complexity, is far less bitter, has an hugely improved mouthfeel and tastes like a proper NEIPA. Now worth its 6.5%.

Received as a substitution on my Asda order .
Poured from a 440ml can.

Pours a milky yellow with a large white head . The smell is of apricot, peach and fruit candy . The taste is dominated by a medium acidity , the fruit way less prominent in the taste than the smell . There's bare hints of ripe pear and fruit candy , almost bready earthiness and slight alcohol hidden under the citric acid tang though. The mouthfeel has good viscosity and prickly bubbles.
Overall, it's okay. Uncomplicated and one dimensional but not terrible. Doubt I'd choose it again though.
