Just starting to drink this beer. Came out 5.25%. Looks great and tastes great, tropical, mango with just the right amount of bitterness at the end. Recommended.

This beer dances all over 95% of the so-called ‘craft’ beer that I’ve bought over the past 12 months. Unlike most of my ales, this beer has really benefitted from a few weeks conditioning which has encouraged the flavours to join together perfectly and allowed the beer to present with just the very slightest haze, which suits it perfectly.
The hop combination works well. Think of a citrus fruit bowl and then add some more fruit. The ibu rating is 22ibu, but to me it ‘tastes’ closer to 30, which was a welcome surprise and compliments the dry hop perfectly.
Highly recommended.
