440ml can. Hazy, orange, dark golden to amber colour with average to huge, dense, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Slightly zesty, citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, wheaty and oaty malty background, notes of orange, orange peel, some grapefruit, lemon, minimally funky, Kveik-like, yeasty fruity overtones. Taste is moderately bitter, zesty, citrusy fruity and slightly tropical fruity hoppy, notes of lemon, some grapefruit, orange, orange peel remain slightly un-integrated on top, tropical fruity undertones come around more mixed with a wheaty and oaty malty basis, some residual sweetness, and Kveik-like, minimally tart-ish, funky, fruity yeasty aspects; mildly bitter, zesty, minimally waxy finish.
Minimally oily, watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium, scattered, mildly prickly carbonation.
A bit inhomogeneous, fairly hoppy, some nice, "dirty", yeasty aspects, quite some character of its own - not bad.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear gold beer, tidy bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Soft light pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. After that, things a little askew. Decent stone fruits and ripe mango but estery petrol thing going on. A fairly dry finish. Not a terrible brew but in the white hot competition of DIPAs these days, way behind the curve.
