Bottle via trade, consumed at the 42nd floor tasting. It pours lightly hazy gold with medium white head. The nose is so very soft, juicy apricot, peach, papaya, nectarine, sweaty action and passion fruit. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, rather soft, orange peel, passion fruit, mango, limited alcohol heat, grapefruit, light grass and straw with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate. Impressive juicy how delicate and soft this is. Very drinkable. Excellent stuff.

Bottle at the sky high Canary wharf tasting. Thanks to Paul this one. Translucent bright yellow / straw coloured pour with a lasting loose white head. Aroma is lovely dank citrus fruits, mango, pithy citrus. Layered hop character on the nose. Flavour is composed of decent Base grains, straw, tropical tropical, mango flesh, pithy citrus, Super happy. Palate is airy carbonation, soft on the tongue, some sticky hop resin. Assertive smooth hop bitterness. Really clean for the abv

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Paul. Pours unclear gold with a frothy white head. Great aroma, lots of peach and tangerine, slight pine, pale bread. Medium sweet flavor with rich citrusy fruits, papaya, melon, mango, light alcohol boost, light bitter grass, soft pale malts. Full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Resinous finish, lightly warming, with rich hop character, pale bread, buckets of citrus, more papaya and mango. Extremely soft and drinkable. Tremendous.

Re-rate 6/16: Bottle sample at a tasting at Ben’s place. Thanks Ariel. 5 days old bottle. Hazy yellow with a white head. Great hoppy aroma, with lots of citrus, tropical fruits, onion. Rather dry flavor with a sweetish hint, with fruity and oniony hops. Medium-bodied. Very nice. Score is updated. 8/4/7/3/14=3.6
Bottle sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks Amit. Cloudy yellow-orange with a white head. Rather stale fruity hops aroma - still quite pleasant though. Flavor has some sweetish malt, stale hops and pretty strong and slightly harsh bitterness. Medium-bodied. Hope I’ll get to try it fresher someday. 7/3/6/3/13=3.2

Bottle shared by MrBarleywine, huge thanks Mike! Pours a lightly hazy light golden color with a decent sized long lasting frothy white head. Huge tangerine, melon, and resinous citrus aromas. Damn that is frikin divine. The flavor is firm tropical fruit pine and citrus hop flavors with just a hint of sweet bread deep underneath. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. Good lord that is a damn fine IPA right there. Huge juicy fruity hop aroma and flavor. I wish I had more.

Bottle sent hella fresh thanks to JBPortland. Bottling date 03/11. Pours very cloudy, golden amber with a medium off-white head that dissipates slowly and laces well. Aroma is nice and dank tropical, passionfruit, mango, guava. Flavor is super juicy, light sweet and light bitter, resinous and rich, tropical and dank, no harshness at all. Full body, oily mouthfeel. This is one of the best I have tried. MOAR....
