Poured from 473mL can. Slightly hazy golden orange with full white head. Orange and bread malt with moderate citrus and pine hops. Very drinkable for what it is.

Good sweet hops on the nose, has a milkyish orange body and okay foam. Flavour is bright vitamin C, strong and chalky, but still a full dry finish with correct oiliness. A decent enough double IPA.

473mL can, pours an opaque bright orange with a large, lingering white foamy head. Aroma brings out lots of rich piney and resinous hops, orange zest, and caramel bready malt. Flavour is robust, with orange rind, citrus zest, resinous hops, some pine, and a big caramel malt backbone that doesn't outdo itself. Robust, yet well-balanced. Really great.

Taster at the brewery. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruits with some grassy notes. Taste is very smooth with resiny and tropical fruits bitterness. Good one.

Hazy and pale. There's a medium head on this. Catty aroma with some limey citrus elements, and a decent pale malt note, maybe a touch of alcohol as well. Sweet up front with slightly doughy pale malts and then a lot of alcohol. Catty and slightly herbal hop notes, and the hops get more pronounced towards the finish. Moderate hop bitterness throughout, with the alcohol lending a touch more bitterness to the finish. A fairly balanced take on the style.

Draft - Intense and juicy citrus. Cloudy gold with a small white head. Lots of citrus and a nice bitter peel.

Murky blond colour. A bit chewy, sweet, and candy-ish, with some orangey hops.
It's a good beer overall, but not as good has previous batches, middle of the pack.

Murky blond colour. The aroma is tropical and piney, the mouthfeel is very smooth, not as juicy as maybe expected, it's more piney, with a delicate crisp malt base, and reasonable bitterness in the finish. A bit pithy maybe. I'll revisit in a week.
Very good, but possibly too young.
