Pours light straw with an abundance of haze and a chunky, long lasting head. The aroma of tropical, white grape hops and graham crackers. The taste is of pineapple, grapes, pepper, mango and bready malts. The mouthfeel is full bodied with high carbonation. High bitterness in the mouthcoating, everlasting finish.
A fantastic IPA from an excellent brewery showcasing a classic hop. Worth a try.

On cask at Volo.
Beer is cloudy orange with a small but solid white head. Good retention.
Nice nose, with tropical fruit sticking out. A bit of a weedy scent as well, but minimal. Hop focused.
Taste contains tropical fruit, a bit of citrus and some dank week. Soapy. Some malt. but not bold. Nice flavour.
Medium bodied, low natural carbonation.
Overall, a nice beer.

On tap at Bryden's, into a tulip.
Reddish orange with a white head, good retention. Nose has tons of Nelson character, just a real citrus blast. Citrus zest and tropical notes as well. Taste has more bitter citrus, tropical and Nelson character. Light pale malt character, not prominent but there's a bit of malt sweetness there as well. Great body, perfect carbonation. Great Nelson everything here, a really nice IPA.
