Transient

Tap to rate

Passion fruit, orange zest, mango and dank pine swirl through this hazy IPA at 7.0%, with ripe, juicy flavours from the first sip. Strata leads, the first core beer in the UK to give it the top spot, with Citra behind it. Hop oil goes into the whirlpool, then a dry hop of 20 g/l finishes the job on a base of barley malt, oats and wheat, and the beer joined the regular range.

◌ Aroma

Tropical fruit dominates the nose, with ripe mango and passion fruit leading, followed by bright orange zest. A dank, resinous pine undertone emerges from the Strata and Citra hop blend, supported by soft, creamy grain character from the oat and wheat base. The hop oil integration is smooth, inviting further exploration.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and fruit-forward, with passion fruit and mango providing immediate sweetness and body. Mid-palate develops a balanced bitterness from the 50 IBU dry hop charge, melding seamlessly with the tropical notes rather than dominating them. The oat and wheat blend creates a lush, rounded mouthfeel that carries the flavors cleanly through.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and crisp, with lingering pine and citrus zest remaining on the palate. The aftertaste fades gradually, leaving a pleasant herbal-resinous memory without any cloying sweetness.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
