Small, very lightly yellow-tinted head over bit undercarbonated, clear metallic-golden beer. Very grapey hops; aromatic, green leaves/herbs; young pine shoots, fruitskins (apple?). Piney, even resiny flavour, unripe exotic fruit, again fruitskins (apple/mango, even bananapeel), grapefruit. Very bitter, near astringent, hopoily. Long-lasting flavours; better carbonated than it looks. Quite nice IPA!

Pale yellow. Aroma has a good balance of fresh, citrus fruity hops. Also some lime zest. Flavour is similar but with some more rounded, earthy notes too

Bottle @ LIBF’16. Shared with the RB Belgian team. Dorée paille claire, col fin blanc. Arôme au nez bien houblonné, fruité en rétro avec un herbacé frais d’houblons type C. Le doux garde un bouquet centré sur des agrumes avec une pointe terreuse et épicée. Palais est léger en malt, pâle voire pils. Houblonné est abondant, avec un fruité en dominant tout comme l’herbacé. Retrouve agrumes, pamplemousse avec une petite fin versant sur le citron vert et une fine note épicée poivrée qui reste subtile en toute fin de bouche.

Hazy and quite pale. Thick head. The aroma is complex apple, pear, papaya. On the palate, soft and a touch yeasty, some plasticy sweetness. Seems like it is aiming for that sweet pale malt thing but the yeast isn’t holding up. Lots of bitterness but really kinda messy.

Draught at Barcade, 4/16/16.
A moderately hazy, peachy-gold body is topped by a medium-sized white head showing average retention.
Strong pine and ruby red grapefruit mix with cherry and caramel malt notes. Fresh, leafy, almost woody hops keep things quite intense, especially towards the lightly resinous finish. No alcohol or flaw, however.
Aggressive up front, it begins with strong grapefruit and moderate pine. As things could easily deteriorate from here in to a resinous, bitter mess, they fortunately fade, being soaked up by juicy honey and caramel notes, allowing a more fruity hop character to take over. Zesty carbonation adds a degree of levity and though it’s certainly got its fair share of pine and grapefruit, the pineapple-mango entices and the juicy, yet nicely attenuated feel to the beer lends a very competent enjoyment.

Draught @ Albion. Hazy bright yellow with small frothy whitish head, citrus peel aroma, medium carbonation, lightly bitter citrus peel taste with some mango flavor, thin body, medium hoppy finish. Interesting citrusy brew.

Draft at Good Beer, 2/5/16. Straw gold. Pale. Decent sized white head with plus lace. Herbal hop aroma with some citrus as well. Similar flavor. Drinks pretty nicely, easy drinking, with a quick, dry close.
