330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy golden colour with huge, fluffy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Malty aroma with a nuttily (peanut) touch combines with hoppy hints of orange and gooseberry, fruit salad, a touch of nut biscuit, peanut butter. Taste is moderately sweet caramel malty, nuttily, notes of peanut butter, cautious hoppy complement with hints of orange, goooseberry, kiwi fruit. Somehow inhibited, stunted.

Bottle from Sourced Market St Pancras and drunk at home. Hazy amber lasting cream head. Odd aroma. A little tropical fruit. Coconut and a little almost saison. Lightish in the mouth. More coconut on the finish. Not really my thing for flavours. OK, but not really doing anything for me flavourwise. Plenty of flavour, I just donโt like it.

Bottle from Ales By Mail; hazy golden amber pour with a massive frothy white head, aroma has floral and medicinal action, taste is spicy with some dirty notes, taste has chemicals, thought Iโd miss this brewer from the WM zone but this beer tastes wrong. --- Beer merged from original tick of IPA Calypso Willamette on 15 May 2015 at 21:34 - Score: 5.

Very hazy orange - gold beer, tidy off white head. Palate is fairly smooth but has a trailing carbonated nibble. Airy malts, mildly sweet. Nice orange, sharp with a little pith and medium bitter. Mild hop spice. A trace of appley orchard fruits and then light floral pine on the back end. Semi dry finish. Vibrant and tasty.

Bottle split at LKS moon base, thanks to the host with the most, 05/05/15. Hazed orange with a big ole off White cap. Nose is earthy hop, light plastic, dusty tones, bitter citric rinds, orange peel, light spice. Taste comprises bread dough, bitter orange, musty notes, jammy apricot, trace of spice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with grassy hop bitterness. So so IPA, even though itโs a recent bottling it didnโt seem very fresh.

Bottle shared at Leightons place. Thanks to Leighton for this one. Hazed golden straw coloured pour with a sticky white head. Aroma is weird musty, hockey ball, light earthy grains. Flavour is composed of tangy citrus, musty, fusty, cheesy. Palate is airy carbonation, light refreshing. Lingering funky spicy hop.

Bottle shared in London - picked up at a bottle shop in London. Pours unclear yellow-gold with a frothy white head. The nose has some lightly tangy lemon, straw, slight varnish. Light to medium sweet flavor with a bit more varnish, pale bread, pine needles, pale grain. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with some further off varnish notes, grain, ripe and tangy citrus. Fairly poor.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours cloudy gold with a thick white head. The nose is soft, doughy, soapy, fresh sherbet, candy, varnish and orange sherbet. The taste is crisp, bitter orange, soapy, sherbet, doughy, drying, straw, toasty grass and chalk with a dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. So-so.
