Intro: A one pint can with no canned on or best before date. Poured into a Spiegelau IPA glass. Appearance: A hazy dark orange colour with a big four finger white head that had good retention and left lots of nice lacing. Aroma: Light mango, apricot, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, orange rind and strawberries. Taste: Light biscuit malt, orange rind and peel, grapefruit, with hints of peach. Mouthfeel: Light bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall: Not as ‘juicy’ as other NEIPAs, but I like it as the aroma and taste was still good and it just goes down so easy.

Intro: A 16 fl. oz. can with no clear canned on or best before date. Poured into a MBCC 2018 stemmed tasting glass. Appearance: A hazy golden orange colour with a very thin less than half finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly but left some light lacing. Aroma: Lemon, lemon peel and pineapple with a touch of papaya and kiwi. Taste: Juicy and lightly bitter. Papaya, pomelo, pineapple, melon, pomelo rind and peel. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall: A nice and great tasting Double IPA. On a side note, I also love the can whose design means you could flip it upside down and it would still appear the same.
