Can shared in London - many thanks to Sr. Tipple. Pours cloudy yellow-gold with a creamy, white crown. Moderately sweet, with notes of light pithy lemon, pale bread, some grainy pale malt notes as well. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Rindy citrus in the finish, more pale bread sweetness. Fun enough.

Level 6 tasting. Big thanks to Tips for the can. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Light malts, a surprising trace of grain, nowt serious. Smooth cooling pine, a touch thin. Light orange and tangerine, quite bright. Light semi dry finish. Good, was expecting more.

Ridiculoulsy hazy golden and bright orange coloured body with a thinnish, single to two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of grass, citrus (grapefruit and full oranges) and a bunch of resin with some alcohol and pungent grain noticeable, all quite strong. Medium-bodied; Deep and extremely pungent hops that show s very drying and herbal quality with a dash of pepper, grass and a light amount of flowers on the very tail end along with some light sweetness picked up from the fruits and a touch of bubble gum as well. Aftertaste shows the bitterness from the hops with a dash of dry pepper and light herbs with more of fruit-based note with a ton of bitterness (read blood oranges or kumquats) and a touch of cleanser on the finish. Overall, a pretty nice beer with a lot of bitterness and especially different characteristics from the hops, all in a good way and with proper balance throughout. Nice to sample and well-recomended for anyone who likes Imperial IPAs. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased from Carmine Street Beers in New York, New York on 08-June-2019 for US$4,99 sampled at home in Washington on 29-September-2019.

16 ounce can. Murky pale gold color. Brief white head. Faint citrus hop nose has buttery notes. Bold bitter hops right out the gate. Dank citrus hops hint at lime, mint, pine needles and passionfruit. 100 IBU's brings an Intense bitterness throughout. Dry bitter finish is long and unrelenting.
