Reviewed from notes.
Can to lager glass.
Appearance: bright thick orange color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated gently to leave some light lace
Aroma: floral and citrusy hops up front with a clean biscuity malty underneath
Flavor: meshes the previously noted aromas to a fine bittersweet quality; finishes floral and citrusy with a touch of the malts
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; light smoothness but also some hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: for the most part, it's a nice easy going IPL that's brewed pretty well and I would welcome this again.

Keg at Salvage BBQ - Portland, ME. Pours mostly clear yellow-gold wit ha fluffy, white head. The nose holds crisp cereal, hay. Light sweet flavour, with some grassy hops, lemon peel, biscuits. Light in body with average carbonation. Finishes with moderate grassy bitterness, crispy biscuits. Nice hoppy lager. (August 2017, score: 3.6)
Cask at GBBF 2015, day 4 - London. Pours hazy yellow with minimal head. Bright, citrusy aroma, with touches of dank melon and grapefruit. Light sweet flavour with some bitter pine, ripe lemon, papaya, cat piss. Light bodied with fine carbonation; so so condition. Pissy, lightly oily finish, with further rich citrus. Good one, though the hops are a little raw.

Pours deep hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Sweet caramel and resin upfront turning to dry dank resin in the lasting finish.

Can, undated (wish they’d date their cans, but hopefully that’s in the works), drunk 1/22/17.
Light chill-haze to this straw-golden beer. White head atop is large and well-retained.
Fruity and lightly juicy hops in the nose show lemon, mango, pineapple, red grapefruit as well as fresh grass and pepper. Malts give just a hint of honey with light, pleasant cereal and dry grain notes. It works well together, in spite of the dryness, as it ends up being highly crisp and bright, with just enough malt and juiciness to even things out. No resin, flaw or alcohol.
Malty and yet nicely attenuated, with soft, honey-filled textures, light sweetness and good balance for the crisp, bright, clean hop notes that range from fresh grass and peppery herbs, to lemon, red grapefruit and very light pineapple. Bitterness crescendos on the finish and it’s certainly got a kick to it, but I love where the abv is at and the beer is masterfully well-constructed and polished, with no sloppy resin or scratchy malt, nor flaw or alcohol. Really enjoying Bunker, glad they started distributing to Mass.

Tap at District Tap house ducked out of work for quick brew. Light gold colored and nose is thick pine. Tastes of pine, grassy, cereal, scallions and touch of aerosol cleaning detergent. Bitter and zesty palate.
