440ml can at Paus Craft Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy golden orange colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, zesty tropical citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a fresh, crisp, juicy citrus, light pepper spice, dry hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A solid IPA but a few more bittering hops would be nice.

440ml can. Slightly cloudy, orangey golden colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy and herbal-spicy, hoppy aroma, biscuity, pale malty background, notes of lemon, lemon balm, a touch of white pepper and basil. Taste is dry, crisp, bitter and citrusy, slightly herbal-spicy hoppy, notes of lemon, lemon balm, a touch of mint, basil, white pepper, pale malty basis without residual sweetness. Oily-watery texture, dry palate, fine and gentle carbonation. Interesting herbal-spicy hop flavours. Nice.

[50cl bottle picked up in Donegal Town, County Donegal.] A pale amber pour with a thin white head; strong aromatic hop aroma; the hops dominate in the mouth as well, with grapefruit, and a leafy bitterness; and then some resin towards the finish. A solid IPA.

Pint at Guildhall Taphouse in Derry. Electric gold in color with a bit of bubbly white on top. Light bready crackery maltiness with lots of citrus tropical fruits pine a resin to counter. I rather enjoyed this one.

Can at home. Clear golden color, medium sized white head. Smell and taste malts, nicely hoppy, hop bitterness. Initially fresh hoppiness but after a while there are also slight notes of iron, slightly metallic en distant butter. Overall it's quite alright. 7-4-7-3-15.
