First try of a Wilko "IPA", while I mash a stout. It's ok, I wasn't expecting much. A tad bland, but drinkable, more of a golden ale really

Wilkos IPA dry hopped with Citra, I’ve done it a few times and had really good results, upped the ABV with the addition of Honey, coming in at just over 5%

Love brewing Full Sail APA, Eldorado hop, quite good, slight tropical notes with a bitter finish, bit strong for me at 5.7 but tasty

Well tonight I’m trying the Mangrove Jack’s Pink grapefruit, cleared with gelatin, force carbonated for the first time, mixed feelings, not as much head but what a beer! Clean tasting. Belting for a kit! Will definitely be putting another on.

I've done the Mangrove Jacks Juicy Session IPA again and have just opened the first bottle tonight. I'd almost forgotten how good it is. Beautifully smooth with plenty of fruit and a nice bitter finish. Curry is on the cooker so will need to open a second very soon.

I have 40 pints of Juicy Session IPA in my garage conditioning. Looking forward to it. I’m going to try and keep my filthy mitts off them until May. It’s my 3rd time to do this kit. Although I will have to try one at the weekend just for quality control.
 
I'm going to have a mangrove jack's mango pale ale brewed with verdant IPA yeast. It's remained hazy after 4 weeks in bottle. The last few I've had have played havoc with my guts and I've had awful wind the next couple of days so I'm not sure if something went wrong, maybe I bottled too early?

Presumably it's not meant to be hazy in which case my guess is that whatever is causing the haze is the culprit. I have experienced the same complaint from uncleared beer but the cause can vary. In my case it seemed to be poorly mashed wheat malt in an all grain.
