Big on hoppiness: both in aroma and taste with citrus and floral notes. Also big on mouthfeel. Bitterness is balanced by classic U.S. IPA malt backbone.

Bottle at De Drie Dorstige Herten, Utrecht. Aroma is juicy fruity hops, malt, citrus, ripe orange, touch of apricot and pine resin, hint of caramel. Flavour is moderate sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium, rich and smooth. Lovely smooth bittersweet IPA.

Keg at Beer Rebellion, Peckham Rye. Dark gold and clear with a hint of white head. Aroma brings pine needles, satsuma peel, white pepper. Glorious taste... the juicy, piney sweetness leads to a modest drying finish. No bravado here: this beer has tonnes of self-control and is all the better for it.

At a tasting, small stable bubbly head, cloudy darkish orange color, aroma of peach and wood with biscuity maltiness behind and a bit of orange marmalade, onion flavor with an herbal bitterness, lightish sourness. Nice, just a touch old.

Clear golden colour with lasting fluffy head. Aroma and flavour have some slightly toasty malts. Hops are rather muted considering it's an IPA. Slightly floral, slightly skunky, slightly soapy.

Tap at Pigalle. Pours orange with some white foam on top. Nice hoppy fruity nose, malty sweetness coming through. Papaya and some mango. Taste is medium bitter, some resins but sweet fruits are strong as well. Pretty decent overall although not that IPA I would choose for my hop fix.
