Can shared in Canary Wharf - cheers! Pours super murky orange-gold with a creamy, white head. Gloopy and sweet, with notes of ripe citrus, light pink, mellow dankness. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet and dank on the finish. Heavy handed. Alright.

Can split at L6, thanks to Dave, 20/11/19. Murky orange with a decent egg shell white cap. Nose is ripe citric peel, raw, pineapple, weed, grass, hop spice, light wooded tones. Taste comprises sharp grapefruit, pine, ripe citric flesh, trace of herb, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with dank leaning hop bitterness. Decent enough DIPA if veering to the raw side of things!

Level 6 Bottleshare. Big thanks to Wingman for the can. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a thin creamy sweetness. Slightly pithy and dry citrus, tangy as well. Modest citric peel. Pine. Light dry finish. Not bad, a bit thin and dry and pithy but drinkable.

Draught @ Mikkeller SF, on 4/17/19. Hazy dark orange foamy small off-white head, faint lemon-coriander aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter citrus-coriander-pineapple taste, alcohol undertones, somewhat thick body, long finish. A good one.

On tap at Mikkeller San Diego, pours an opaque cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of the kveik yeast, with piney, earthy hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with earthy hops, yeast, and caramel sweetness. Not the best balance, but it works alright. Solid.
