On tap at Jack's Abby, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out grassy and piney hops upfront, with crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is loaded with wonderful piney hops upfront, with a grassy tinge and a crisp biscuity malt base. Wonderfully balanced and robust. Excellent.

Level 42 Bottleshare. Thanks to Tips for the can. Very hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry and with good fine carbonation. Smooth malts, light creamy sweetness. Good orange -lemon. A little pine in the smooth finish. Tasty, if not particularly lager like.

Can shared in London - many thanks to Sr. Tipple. Pours mostly clear gold with a white cream topping. The nose holds melon and tangerine, some peach. Medium sweet flavour with notes of pale bread, rindy bitterness, citrus. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Juicy finish, with further bitter citrus rinds. Nice one.

Hazy pale straw color with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma is a nice blend of scallion, dank pine and leafy green hops. The flavor is wonderful and has a lingering pine and scallion finish. Nice.

Can - bought this because I really enjoyed their other IPL - however, what I like about that one is that the hoppiness serves the crisp refreshing nature of the lager, whereas in this one the hoppiness (bitter, oily) overpowers to the point where you can't even really tell it's a lager - with that said, it's still fairly enjoyable, but more like a potent IPA - the bitterness is a little abrasive at the end, but it's well-made.

Cask at Cask and Vine 300 Pints Fest. Hazy deep yellow color. Earthy citrus with bits of tropical fruit smoke and grass. Bits of sweet bread counter nicely.
