Lunch is a special whale that has been spotted off the Maine coast since 1982. She has what looks like a bite taken out of her fin, which adds to her unique character. We dedicate this beer to her determination and persistence. Keep on swimming!

Hazy light amber color. Very citrusy nose with sweet maltiness underlying. The mouth is very well balanced with maltiness sweetness, moderately aggressive hops and big citrus notes. Moderately bitter finish. Superbly well balanced. A touch sweeter than I would like, but amazing IPA.

Bottle, thnx to PP from de Molen for sharing. Hazy yellow color, short head. Aroma of hops, some tropical fruit, hint of pine, some pineapple. Not as much caramel or bready malts present which you see a lot in IPA from American origin. Not that outspoken, although it’s just 6 weeks old. I did expect a bit more to be honest. In taste it has a really nice balance between the soft malts and medium bitterness. Overall I’m a bit disappointed, but that’s mainly because of the high expectations I had before.

Bottle at the De Molen July 2nd Tuesday tasting. Poured a hazy medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is big grassy hops, nettles and pine needles with some floral notes. The flavour is medium bitter, spicy hop, pepper and some grapefruit citrus on the palate. A very refreshing summer beer.

On tap @ Blind Tiger House. This is a kinda light cloudy deep golden one with a medium sized off-white top that's sticking to the side's of the glass. Nice fresh aroma with lots of fruits. It almost smells like candy this. A bit sweet, fruity, some piney hops and some honey melon. Nice! Well flavored with a good amount of grassy hops. It had a kinda oily mouthfeel and a above average carbonation level. It's quite grassy, but quite. More melony fruitiness, some tropical melon and passion fruit. Really tasty. No doubt about that. Could drink this every day. 12.06.2013

From a 50 cl bottle shared at home. Pours a murky gold with a thick off white head. Fruity hop aroma. Flavors of pineapple, grapefruit and a hint of pine and salt. Really mellow and balanced. Mild and crisp hoppy finish.

Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy orange-apricot color with a large creamy yellow-white head that lingered and left great lacing. The aroma was strong dryish floral and herbal hops with a faint vague fruity undertone. The flavor was bitter dry with moderate fruity and floral hops, pine, faint caramel, tropical fruits and pepper. Long fruity, floral and piney hop finish. Medium body. Solid.
