My rating: 4 My beeradvocate.com rating: 4.28 My ratebeer.com rating: 4.1
Intro: A 1 pint can, canned on 17th April 2017. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass. Appearance: A slightly hazy golden orange colour with a two finger white head that had decent retention and left some lacing. Aroma: Mango, honey and some nice citrus rind, pine and mandarin to balance. Taste: Tropical mango sweetness with some bitter mandarin peel and rind, pine, plus maybe a hint of honey, but not much. Mouthfeel: Light bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall: It’s a very tasty and enjoyable Session IPA. Easy to drink and extremely crushable on a hot summer day.

Intro: A 330ml can with a best before date of 7th November 2017. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass. Appearance: It was a dark copper amber colour with a two finger off white head that had good retention and left nice lacing. Aroma: Pineapple and candied orange sweetness with hints of caramel, berries, pine and grapefruit. Taste: Sweet malt, light caramel, pine, grass and herbal with hints of bitter citrus and mixed berries. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall: This was pretty good, but the malts seemed to take charge when it was supposed to showcase a single hop, which was a bit disappointing. However I did feel that this was the best of the four Single Hop Series that I tried.

Intro: A 330ml can with a best before date of 9th November 2017. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass. Appearance: A slightly hazy copper amber colour with a two finger off white head that had good retention and left nice lacing. Aroma: A good mix of citrus orange and mandarin with tropical papaya and mango plus hints of pine and grass. Taste: Malty sweet biscuit and caramel with bitter citrus rind, peel and orange. Maybe hints of mango and pine on the finish, but not much. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall: Not as good as Cascade or Simcoe, but like the others, the malts overpowered the hops and was just ok.

Intro: A 330ml can with a best before date of 8th November 2017. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass. Appearance: A hazy dark amber colour with a two finger off white head that had good retention and left lots of nice lacing. Aroma: A bit light but there’s citrus and tropical grapefruit, melon and peach with hints of caramel and pine. Taste: Bitter grapefruit, citrus orange, pine, grass and caramel maltiness. The booziness was also actually quite obvious here. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall: This was ok, but the malts overpowered the hops and it was surprisingly boozy.
