Bright gold. Nice lacing. Nose like inhaling deeply in the hop fridge. Earthy, some terpenes, orange. Biscuity malts. Good body. Medium bitterness. Solid.

On tap at SYC, pours a clear, bright golden with a small white head. Aroma is pretty expressive, with big orange rinds, resinous hops, a touch of pine, and just enough sweet caramel malt to back. Flavour is clean and vibrant, with big resinous hops, some pine, a little orange rind, and a nice clean caramel malt backbone. Assertively hopped and well-constructed overall. Excellent.

On tap at the brewery. Pours clear gold with a white head. Bright pine and chewy malts on the nose. Flavour has a vibrant pine expression and a solid chewy malt base. Nice WC IPA.

473ml can. Pours a clear gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves thick patches of lace. Dank, fruity aroma of pale malt, peach, orange, tangerine and floral hops. Slightly muted flavour of caramel malt, apricot, orange, grass and pine in a dry, mild bitter, floral hop finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Refreshing and easy to drink, but too timid.

Very perfumy with some citrus. Clear gold with a decent white head. Sweet and perfumy, with a bit of caramel. Odd.
