Intense greens of fresh hops bursting with fruitiness filled his senses. Rich yellows and golds of malted barley adding subtle sweet tones to the vibrant coloured show. The setting sun started to turn red and, as its light subsided, he was filled with a mellow bitterness and the blues of wanting more.

Thanks! Large can sampled. Darker orange, amber, creamy collapsing white head. Nose is big dank, pine, sugar, papaya. Taste is low paper soggy but overall nice pine, old school some sweeter papaya, low caramel. Pine oil & paper body, nice.

33 cl can from Drunken Duck Refettorio Birraio, take away 4€. Pours initally clear bright orange/amber color then lots of sediment in the can with big particles in suspension, thich but bubbly yellowish white head. Aroma is impressive of tangerine, orange, hops resin. Aroma of pale malts, cookies, tropical fruit, tangerine, pine, melon, grapefruit, light citrus. Taste is balanced, intensely bitter, farily beefy, tasty, umami. Medium body, juicy. Full-on west coast IPA, very nice.

Keg @ Tilt. Pours a misty gold, medium white head. Nice fruit exotics on the nose. Taste presents a good fruity presence alongside a bright grapefruit bitterness. Has a nice sweet character. Flavoursome, well-rounded IPA.
