What about the beer?
Colour is hazy juicy yellow with a large white head. Aroma has strong mango with grapefruit and orange. Taste begins with strongly hitting citrus punch. Fresh and softly carbonated sour-bitter grapefruit-lemon juice takes over with orange, mango and herbs in the background. Towards the end the fruit juice keeps its grip, piny and herbal flavours rising up a bit. Aftertaste has bitter grapefruit, sour lemon and herbal dryness.

Delicious fruity Double IPA. Fresh citrus and mango packed beer with moderate piny bitterness. Someone could call this a fake New England IPA. I call this one heck of a brew. Great tuned Halcyon from Thornbridge - something completely different from the ordinary but still magnificent.

Time for some raw and brutal rock. With fruit, of course.
