440ml can. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma of orange and grapefruit, piney resin. Taste of orange, grapefruit, resinous, piney, caramel, loads of sticky marmalade, assertive bitterness. Medium bodied.
Very solid collab, though I reckon the original IPA was better than this DIPA.

Super well balanced, juicy and a little dank, lovely notes of plump citrus, piney accents, some soft rindy bitterness, supportive pale bread. Dangerously drinkable. Big fan here.

Keg at The Kernel. Opaque copper gold. Thing foamy white head primarily sticks to the rim. Aroma is funky with resin and bitter citrus. Flavourwise we have bitter resin with a juicy citrus edge. Spice. Underlying malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Easy going DIPA but a tad restrained.

Keg at Mother Arch iii, 10/12/2025.
Almost clear golden orange topped with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is bitter orange, grass, dank chimes, citric tinged straw.
Taste comprises bitter orange, caramel, pine needle, grass, ripe melon.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with juicy come grassy hop bitterness.
Tidy enough DIPA but was expectant of something nearer to an 8 score.
