My rating: 3
My beeradvocate.com rating: 3.63
My ratebeer.com rating: 3.5

Intro: A 440ml can, canned on 13th January 2022, with a best before date of 12th July 2022. Poured into a winebar glass.
Appearance: A hazy murky dark orange brown colour with a two finger white head that had decent retention while leaving lots of nice lacing.
Aroma: It’s a little bit weak, but I’m getting grapefruit pith with a mix of cantaloupe and honeydew melon.
Taste: Light bitterness, citrus rind and pith, orange, with light tropical pineapple, grass and melon notes.
Mouthfeel: Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.
Overall: It’s appearance wasn’t all that appealing, and while the aroma was a bit weak, it was good, but the taste didn’t quite come together for me.

Intro: A 440ml can, canned on 12th January 2022, and with a best before date of 11th July 2022. Poured into a winebar glass.
Appearance: Poured a hazy soapy orange colour with a one and a half finger white head that had pretty good retention, while leaving lots of nice lacing.
Aroma: A little bit weak, but there’s grapefruit, citrus rind, melon, grass, pine, and hints of tropical stone fruit.
Taste: Moderately bitter, grapefruit, citrus rind, grass, melon, lemon, with light notes of lime.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with low to moderate carbonation.
Overall: The aroma was weak and didn’t pop, and while the flavours were fine, it wasn’t among my favourites.

My ratebeer.com rating: 3.7

Intro: A 440ml can, canned on 10th January 2022, with a best before date of 9th July 2022. Poured into a winebar glass.
Appearance: A hazy deep orange colour with a one finger white head that had decent retention and left lots of nice lacing.
Aroma: Citrus forward, grapefruit, lime, orange pith, citrus rind, with notes of yellow stone fruit.
Taste: Grapefruit rind, orange pith, melon, grassy, light tropical peachy notes, with a lasting bitter finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate to light carbonation.
Overall: It’s not as juicy forward as I would have expected, but I’m happy that it’s not overly sweet like many TIPA’s. It’s may also be a touch boozy, but not overly so, or any more than the average TIPA. I think in the end, there’s nothing wrong with the flavour profile, it’s just not one of my favourites.
