Bottle thanks to. It pours orange-amber with a medium white head. The nose is orange, nectarine, peach, toffee, brown bread and orange sponge cake. The taste is bitter-sweet, pine, orange peel, resin, peppery, warming alcohol and muffin with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A bit sweet perhaps, but ok.

Bottle, Kris Wines, London. Poured a clear amber colour with a fading white head and some lace. Nose was caramel malts, piney hop and tropical fruits. Nice. Fullish mouthfeel. Flavour was resinous hop, caramel malts, orange, pine and wood . Robust bitterness with some alcohol coming through towards the finish. Very solid IPA that just falls short of greatness.

Clear deep amber beer, good size pale cream coloured head. Palate is smooth. Mild minerally carbonation, semi dry. A little malt sweetness. Rich tangerine, turns marmalade. Touches of pine and grass. Alcohol dryness and spice. Decent if marred by obvious alcohol.

Bottle @ Benzai’s single release party, shared with Dutchdrebus and Ansjelaah. Clear amber to dark orange color, medium sized a bit creamy off-white head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma has moderate to strong maltyness, hops, pine, resin, spruce. Taste moderate to heavy malty, hops, pine, resin, spruce, a slight touch of alcohol and superbly bitter. This is a great beer, absolutely delightful.
