Hops: Citra, Cascade, Centennial, Columbus
The nose is old-school dank. Columbus-heavy, weedy, resinous. Layered with overripe stone fruit and Citra's tropical edge of fuzzy peach, mandarin, pineapple and even a hint of banana. Centennial and Cascade keep it classic with pine and citrus-peel sharpness.
On the palate, firm, big upfront bitterness meets plush, velvety fruit. Four classic American hops doing what they do best, bringing huge amounts of flavour in a way that, on paper couldn't be balanced, however in reality work so well together. Finishing clean, resinous, and bracingly pine-laced.

330ml bottle, 6.6%. Slightly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of grapefruit, orange, peach, and some piney resin. Taste of orange and grapefruit, peach, pine, citrus peel, a little marmalade, resinous bitter finish. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Quality stuff.

Draft at the Wolf on the Corner, Eastbourne at 6.6%. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, light toffee. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a fresh, crisp, toffee, light herbal, dry, hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Bottle from Sterk Amsterdam. Aroma is fruity hops with juicy citrus, orange, tropical fruits, grapefruit, passion fruit, some malt and pine. Light sweet with a solid bitter flavour. Body is medium. Damn good IPA from The Kernel, firm in hop and flavour!

Hazy golden beer, thick white head. Smells hoppy and of tropical fruit. Flavour has pine, grassy hop, a little sweet malt, citrus and tropical fruit. Nicely balanced, crisp and fresh and far too refreshing for the strength.

200ml draught, 6.8 % abv, at Brygg. Cloudy dark golden body, low white head, dotted spots on the glass. Quite promising aroma of earthy malts and leafy hops. Ripe fruity flavours, added by earthy malts. Rounded leafy bitterness to the ending. Medium bodied. Likable. (Oslo 04.11.2021).

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Bottle looks very simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Shy hoppy aroma. Starts dry-malty, quite bitter, some hoppy-fruity notes of lemon, grapefruit. Finish more balanced. Nice!
