A really nice malt-driven IPA. The aromas of pine, grapefruit, watermelon and orange peel mix with dough, biscuit and honey. A slightly-too-sharp pine flavour is the only discordant note in the mouth. Other than that, perfectly balanced. Bottle from the brewery (still doing pick-ups during COVID).

Bottle. Deep gold with a large white head. Aroma of tenor-register citrus, sticky bread crust, hints of tropical fruit, pine. Clean and not as sweet as expected, but with a touch of caramel as though the mandarins and kumquats were grilled a little. Not a lot goes on until a little pine with the gradually gripping medium high bitterness. Pretty good but kind of forgettable.
