Pours unclear yellow, like a very hazy weisse. Small white head. Smell is sharp. Citrussy ( lemon, but not the tartness). But earthy almost. Just a wiff of cheesyness. Taste is sharp, bitter, with a decent amount of hopburn. The maltyness doesn't blend in well with the hops. Creating a very out of balance total.

Can from Honest Brew. Milky golden body with a white head. Steady carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of pineapple, mango and bubblegum. Flavour of melon and hop spice. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Light fizz. This hits the nail on the head. A fantastic IPA.

Keg at All Good Beer - Hackney Downs. Pours murky gold with a tight, creamy white head. Good sauce, lots of pulpy citrus fruits, some chalky hop dust, grapefruit and tangerine. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with further powdery hops, citrus rind, a little pine needle bitterness. Good stuff.

Tap at Borefts 2019. Poured a milky straw colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, big super dank, weedy hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a fresh, crisp, mineral, light pepper spice, dry hop bitter palate with a touch of hop burn. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Way too dank and bitter for me. Not much else going on.

Cloudy pale yellowish beige beer, no head. Aroma: oh yes, lovely dank hops, bit resinous, cheesy, some diesel, fruity, bit spicy, minty almost. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: lots of citrus, very dank hops, tropical fruits, some grapefruit. Aftertaste: more fruity hops, resinous bitterness, lovely stuff, I really like this one!
