Carbonated yellow body and minimal foam on top. Smells of dry orange rind. Flavour is more orange rind but sweet, with a very fruity and oily finish. Not a bad IPA, on the oilier side of things.

Draught at the forno. Light gold, thin head. Stewed fruit hop nose is disconcerting. On the palate, it’s worse, dropping Big League Chew all over the place. Weird. An IPA? Gotta QC that batch, guys. If your yeast gets away from you and kicks off phenols like this in an IPA, you gotta dump that.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out restrained piney hops upfront, with some floral notes and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is similar, with a very floral and piney hop quality, and sweet biscuity malt that leaves a fairly pronounced residual sweetness. Rather sweet but not bad.

Can - Grapefruit and peel with some biscuit. Clear gold with a nice white head. Sweet citrus, peel and a nice bitter finish. Quite lite and bright.

Cloudy blond color. On the plus side it's a blond and dry IPA, modern, but on the other side it's quite restrained, light hop resins, very light orange peel and other fruits.

Blond color, hazy, with small compact head. The hop aroma is very nice, it's fruity with a mild musky presence. The mouthfeel is smooth, not too dry, with good body strength; the pale malts seem to provide some flavor too, but they are quickly overwhelmed by extreme bitterness; the resiny, piney, musky qualities of the hops are undeniable; the only note out of tune is some chicory-like bitterness in the final.
A bit rough, but well done.
