12oz bottle. Watery, thin. Not much bitterness or balance. Sessionable I suppose, but pretty mundane and simplistic at best.

Bottle. Unclear golden body with a moderate sized white head. Nice, aroma of citric and tropical fruit and oranges. Flavor has some sweet pale malt, fruity like aroma and pleasant bitterness. Medium body and OK aftertaste. No big deal really but refreshing and quite enjoyable.

Bottle at home, koszi Mesi. Pours semi clear goldenish with an orangeish hue and quickly dissipating head. Nose is citruses, orange and passion fruit, some grassy hops too. Taste is that of a macro IPA with artificial fruit and dumb bitterness. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Meh, as expected.

6er from the lcbo. Clear orange pour with a small white head. Aroma is orange zest, grapefruit, hints of guava and light passionfruit, with a bit of skunk. Mouth feel is great, with a solid carb. Finish is medium to highly bittrr, strong orange zest and guava in the end. Nice bitter, crisp, fruity session ipa.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per luppolo e frutta tropicale. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera è elevata, permanendo in maniera apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma ha una scarsa tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il liquido appare velato. La frizzantezza si presenta sotto forma di bollicine medio-fini. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Il tetto della bocca riconosce impressioni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, pompelmo, arancia amara, ananas, mango e frutto della passione.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is fruity with lots of tropical fruits, guava, passion fruit, citrus, orange, some grapefruit, bit candied, mildly hopped. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Body is light to medium. Pleasant juicy stuff, bit candied, could have used a bit more hop character to balance out the added fruits.
