Pours a hazy amber golden color, topped with a decent size of off-whitehe ad, ok retention. Gentle fruity hopy in the aroma - tropical fruits and mild pine notes as well. Taste is mildly fruity with some very gentle hoppy bitterness. Finish also slightly fruity with some bittery herbal feel in the aftertaste. Very nice.

At a tasting, thanks, small and a toch dense bubblty head, cloudy orange color, aroma of flowers and wood, flavor of shrubs and herbs with a light sweet maltiness. Fair but not too exciting.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks troubles. Cloudy golden with a white head. Aroma of citric hops, slightly stale. Flavor is quite dry, with citric hops, a bit of yeast, and a bitter finish. Medium-bodied.

Bottle, bottled on 21/3/2014.
Orange, hazy body, with a big, frothy, white head, that dissipates quickly.
Aroma of citrus, pine, orange, tangerine, some tropical fruits, some grass.
Taste is about the same, also biscuit and honey like malts.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation and it finishes medium bitter, slightly dry, with citrus, grass and some sweet malts.
Nice! Although it isn’t fresh anymore, still with nice, fruity and piney hop notes. The malt backbone is also quite tasty. Overall a decent, easy to drink and nicely balanced IPA, even after 7 months.
