330ml bottle from Vino Wines, Edinburgh:
Pours a clear and light copper colour with a pinky sized, bubbly white head that leaves a little lacing on the glass.

Tropical fruits to begin, this one smells quite juicy with some pine hops coming through and some berries with a touch of citrus too. Some fruity hops and a combination of peach and mango like aromas finish things off quite nicely.

Fruity with a lot more grapefruit and pine hops this time round. There is a good mix of oranges and peach with some citrus and a nice alcohol kick to compliment the tropical fruits. It is rounded off with some sweet berries and tonnes of bitter hops.

Medium body and lively carbonation, the beer is quite sweet and definitely dry with plenty of bitterness.

Not a bad beer, a lot more fruity than I had been expecting for the style and quite juicy as well with a good aroma but the taste, whilst good probably wasn't as good as some of the more well known American double IPA's out there.
