Open mouth can. Pours lovely amber with full head. Pine all over the nose. And that's how it tastes. Big, bold and verdant. I'm in love with this new hop.

From a 375ml can on 3/12/2017 (shared by Butz with thanks). The nose features sweet fruit and some honey. Flavours are apricot, peach and mango, with some more honey followed by a moderate hop bitterness with the barest hint of spice. Fullish body with moderate carbonation. A very solid, well made IPA.

Can. Amber with an exuberant white head. Aroma of kumquat, pine, bread, herbs. Medium bodied. moderate carbonation. Tastes much as it smells, but with an intriguing apricot, feijoa? and fig note that's stewed and somehow flattening on the palate.I didn't dislike it but wanted more of a firm bitter finish after it, although the slight astringency works OK. A bit discombobulating.
