Bottle. Orange bronze color. Aroma of resinous hop, caramel, pine and peach toffee. Taste has chewy caramel, pine, toffee, resinous hop, malt and sticky ripe fruit. Bit too malty and sweet for my liking, bit old school.

(Draught at Craft & Draft, Amsterdam, 23 Feb 2017) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with frothy off-white head. Malty, hoppy nose with orange peel, grapefruit, resin and caramel. Malty, fruity taste with notes of orange peel, apricots, grapefruit, caramel and a generous citric bitterness. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well made IIPA, with a fresh hop character. Nice one.

Hazy amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is smooth and slightly soft but still has decent fine carbonation. Smooth creamy malts, nice level of sweetness. Smooth sweetish pine. Lovely mellow tangerine and tropical fruits, mango identifiable and a trace of pineapple. More smooth soft pine. Light finish. Smooth and sumptuous and quite seductive.
