Bottle at 80 Days Bier Haus in Hull. Remaining off-white head leaving lacing rings down the glass. Cloudy apricot coloured body. Smell of mid-sweet succulent citrus. Fresh fruity taste of oranges and mandarin. Herbal dry ending with a bittersweet touch. Soft in the mouth. Pleasant and refreshing (shared with Finn, 24.11.2015).

Tea, feet, raisin, and prune nose. The latter was hard to identify as it wasn’t something I expected to find in an IPA, but it definitely smells of raisins and prunes. Clear amber with white chunks, thick head with very little retention. Distinct tea flavor, ringed with much more subtle prune notes. Light and fizzy, somewhat dry. Very little hop presence for an IPA.

Bottle from Yamaya, Hitachinaka, Ibaraki, Japan. A hazy orange/amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Orange, caramel aroma. Tastes similar, orange, caramel, sweet yet bitter. Tasted slightly unbalanced at first but once into it quite liked this.
