Can at home, from J and B Craft Drinks, Amsterdam, 25th May 2025. Pours clearish and light orange copper in colour. Aroma is resinous and malty, pithy. Taste is deliciously balanced, malty, resinous, bitter and sweet, very enjoyable

CD: 03/11/25. Een troebele oranje kleur en een mooie hobbelige gebroken witte schuimkraag met lange retentie. Geur van kruidige hop, harsig, hoppoeder, ook wat zacht fruit. Retronasaal is het fruitig, jam, harsig, bloemige hop. Smaak is redelijk bitter met een fruitig zoetje. Medium body. Zachte koolzuurprikkeling. Lange finish met kruidige bitterheid, een tikje droog. Erg lekker weer.

Hoppy and juicy, fairly sweet, a dry finish. Tropical fruit with orangey citrus, pinecones, smooth, very nice.

Tropical fruity, grassy hoppy and slightly floral with hints of hay, citrus, pine, tangerine and orange peel, mild maltiness and bitterness in the finish. Balanced, but perhaps not the best hop for a single hop beer.

Draught at Monk's: pours opaque haze with white head. Aroma is buttered popcorn and really smelly tropical fruit. Intense tropical fruitiness. Riwaka is more palatable here than in their single hop pale ale, but it is still Riwaka.

Publick house draught, 4/9/23. Heavily hazy, apricot-peach. Large, well-retained, white head. Nose is all sulfur. Bits of peach, apricot skin and dry nectarine juice. Touch of late harvest Semillon and we can call it a day. That's the best nose on an IPA I've had in years. One of the few good ones to come out of the abysmal recent harvest. Clean, snappy, balanced by dainty, honey-like malt and with no resin or alcohol. Soft, juicy, full of stone fruit, white wine and mineral. Balanced maltiness, good attenuation, clean, no resin or alcohol. Jesus fucking christ that's unbelievable. That's everything I want from a DIPA.

Can thanks to William. Pours a cloudy orange yellow with medium frothy white head. The aroma is earth, pine, and citrus. Slick body, juicy melon, mango, bitter dusty finish, very nice.

On tap at Arts and Crafts Amsterdam Ave. Pours hazy bright yellow. Pineapple, orange, sweetcorn, honey. Good soft body. Cloying sweet thing. Not great.

Draught @ Beer Run (12/23/19). Looks like orange juice, extremely hazy and high density, very small frothy off-white head, orange-mango-pineapple aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter orange-mango-pineapple taste with faint peach flavor, smooth body, long medium bitter finish, a bit of alcohol bite at the end. The alcohol escapes a bit.
