47.3 cl bottle @ hotel room, San Diego. Aroma has pineapple juice and tropical fruits - feels sweet. Flavour has sweet fruits, resin, grapefruit and pineapple juice. Finishes with some tickling hops. Sweet but still rather nice.

Sample at the Tehachapi Beer & Wine Festival on 07/18/2015: Slightly cloudy yellow-gold color with a medium thick fluffy white head that diminishes gradually . Partial rings of lacing. Aroma of piney hops, fruit and malt. Medium body with flavors of resiny hops, tropical fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a piney hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

16oz can pours with a crystal clear pure gold body that supports a dirty white head of foam. The aroma offers up soft cantaloupe and mango and then pulling into ripe clementine and faint spicy onion dankness. The taste starts with a pleasing modest rush of cantaloupe and tangerine and bits of mango where the flavor is split down the middle with bitter and juicy hoppiness. To midway it picks up faint citrus and spicy dank hop bitterness and some resiny almost pine hop like notes. Toward the finish just a murmur of sweet malts is noticed amid the tasty hoppiness. This has nice depth and balance and crisp hoppiness. Pretty solid.

Tap at Harry’s Hofbrau. Fresh meadow and citrus. Pours clear light yellow with full white head and nice patterning down the sides. Taste is tropical with stoneground wheat. Moderate bittering and a bright yet dry finish. Refreshing.

Can. Gold with a white head. Aroma of melon, Meyer lemon, some gooseberry, grass. Reminds me a fair bit of Oakham Citra. Light bodied, high carbonation. Bittersweet with tropical fruit, peach, lemon, white pepper. Finish is dry and fairly bitter. Good, but not sure why it’s so strong for the flavours.

Can shared at chriso’s - thanks to Ethereal. Pours clear yellow with a creamy white head. Lots of piney hops in the nose, melon, grapefruit. Medium sweet flavor with oily hops, pine needles, melon, ripe lemon. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Oily, resinous finish, moderately sweet with further piney bitterness, some citrus rind, juicy citrus fruits. Not bad.

Can thanks to Caspar. It pours clear golden with a medium white head. The nose is fresh, piney, sherbet, doughy, tangerine, dried mango and orange peel. The taste is bitter-sweet, pine needles, sherbet, brioche, candied peel, minerals and light alcohol with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Pretty solid IPA action.
