From a 375ml bottle on 2/4/2018. Pours a relatively cleat golden with a small to medium head. The nose is very citrussy - heaps of tangerine and mandarin, with some herbal notes. The flavour also features lots of tangerine, mandarin, as well as a lot of grapefruit, and a dash of honey, against a light biscuit malt background. The bitterness is pretty big and quite herbal, but nicely integrated with the fruit. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. A very nice, quite unusual and punchy IPA.

Not a portent, then? OK. Can. bb 1/19, right. Just hazy amber with a white head that doesn't last that well. Aroma of tropical fruit, some mandarins, chive-y herbs, pine - brusque but nice. Gentle, slightly biscuity sweetness with lots of fruity and herbal hops. Bitterness is quite high but there's no harshness to it and the green element to the herbs doesn't really register at the end. Vibrant and refreshing. Very good.
