Can. Very hazy gold beer, good cream colour head. Palate is fluffy and has decent fine carbonation. Airy malts, modestly sweet. Decent cooling piney hops. Very mild hop spice. Orange and orange pith, spicy orange and floral orange. A good gamut of hop flavours but overall it feels slightly recessed. Pretty drinkable though.

330 ml bottle from Kris Wines, London, bb 1/12/16.
Amber, hazy body, with a massive, fluffy, lacing, off-white head.
Aroma of citrus, pine, orange, peach, berries, some candy, slight soap.
Tastes of grapefruit, orange, citrus, some berries, some earth, biscuit, some grass, slight herbs.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes bitter, a bit dry, zesty, citric, grassy, a bit piney, a bit herbal.
Very nice. Fruity and medium bodied, while it drinks quite fresh. Not fully balanced though in my opinion, has some herbal notes that doesn’t fit very well. Still a quaffable IPA, while nothing outstanding.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Cotteridge, Birmingham, West Midlands, Friday 4th March 2016 Hazy gold a wishy washy washed out few, some the lemon flavours. Sticky, clingy, wheat head. Soft mouthfeel, some initial sweetness, but hops are really being restrained on a long leash. Lovely pithiness, dry, it’s very good. A8 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 4.0

Keg at BDSB - London. Pours hazy orange-gold with a lasting, frothy white head. Rich and somewhat dank hops in the aroma, with notes of pine, ripe orange, sweat, also some bready pale malts, tangerine, apricot. Medium sweet flavor with moderate pale bread base, slightly gooey hops, pine, ripening citrus, grapefruit, melon, peach, papaya, mellow piney and rindy bitterness. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Resinous and lightly warming in the finale, with more sticky, dank hop character, more pine, orange, nectarine. Quite a good IPA, with well and expressive hops. On its way to being something pretty special. Nice work.

Flavour is composed of slightly raw base grains, zesty citrus, veg, lemon. Palate is semi sweet, highish carbonation. Grainy. Spicy citrus. Good.
