Thnx to phille. Pours murky blonde, small white head. Smell is very grassy, herbal hops amd tropical notes. Taste is full, citrus, overly grassy. Sharp bitterness. Strong metallic undertone. I drank the Glory the day before and was blows away. This one made me feel underwhelmed.

Keg @ Northern Monk Refectory, Leeds. Hazy blonde with its strength evident. There's a decent tropical fruitiness here and an excellent aftertaste.

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours cloudy golden - orange with a small white head. The aroma is rich, juicy, sweet, orange creamiscle, ripe mango, oily, resin and fruity smoothie. The taste is dry, bitter, bright pineapple, grapefruit, tangerine, mango, sherbet, vibrant passion fruit, pine needles, green, danky, touch of spice and warmth. Bright and fruity. Nice stuff.

Can. Hazy gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Palate is light and crispy. Light and sweet malts. Hops are a nice combo of fresh orangey citrus, mild pine and a nice touch of tropical fruits. Modest spice on the back end. Traces of tangerine and pineapple. Bright and breezey, especially after the tang of the Interboro DIPAs earlier on. Nice one.

Brilliant white fluffy head stayed well on an opaque, dark lemon coloured still body. Big fruity sweet citrus aroma. Medium bodied, smooth on the palate with a slight prickle on the back. Huge fruity tastes of peach, grapefruit, mango, tropically fruits, grape, Haribos & pineapple.

Burk . Ljus helgrumlig. Doftar typiskt amarillo tungt. Jo luktar Gräsig blöt ladugårdsplan. Moget äpple och lite ananas. Smakar? Jo överraskande citrusaktig i munnen med lite grönt syrligt äpple. Finns också en blommig parfymerad smak. Lite udda smakprofil faktiskt. Lite väl mycket underlig syra för få topp betyg.

(440ml can from Mikkeller Webshop) ~1.5mo @ drinking? Pours a very hazy orange-gold with an average white head and spotty lace. Aroma fruity, lots of sweet orange, some slightly musky/pungent tropical notes, peach, soft dank weed, citrus zest. Flavour is semi-sweet orange juice, grapefruit flesh, citrus zest, grassy hops, tropical notes, light malt body, pith, slightly dusty yeast feel, fairly low bitterness, sweet fruit still clinging in the finish along with citrus tang. Medium bodied, slight fizz to the carb. Solid fruity DIPA, maybe missing a bit of the edge it had when fresh as it just lacked a little attack even though the elements were there.
