500ml bottle in Bushmills, Northern Ireland. Misty golden appearance, white head. Excellent fresh citrussy goings on. Fantastic, brings to mind the well-formed citrussy golden ale character of Salopian kashmir. Kinnegar know what's what.

Clear orange with a white head. Citrus bursts forth rom the glass. Tropical fruits and some dank pine join in the fun. There is a toasted pale malt backbone giving it strength but not overbearing. Finish is juicy and lightly bitter. A very solid drinker.

Dorada nebulosa. Bonita espuma blanca. Rico aroma lupulado, notas herbales y frutales. Cremosa y muy agradable. Bien de gas. Amargor pronunciado. Sabor mantiene notas resinosas, pero ahora es más frutal. Uva y fruta tropical. Rica.

For me this ipa is well brewed, perfect beverage to be refresh or closing your eyes. This one is well balanced, subtle, aromatic, bitter and citrus, a touch of fruit and discreet sweetness at the final, 20.05.20, at Epalinges.

On tap at Porterhouse, Dublin on 18th July 2025. Hazy orange amber with shallow foam and scant lacing. Pungent yeastiness and tropical fruits in aroma. Burst of tangy fruits in-mouth before a sweetish finish of malts and tropical fruitiness. Zingy mouthfeel and a medium body.
