Hazy light amber, bubbly head. limey/citrusy. Light palate, with a little hop but not as strong as the nose suggests.

On tap at Off the Rail, pours a cloudy bronzey orange with a small off-white head. Nose brings out weird notes of diacetyl, herbal notes and some resinous hops buried in there somewhere. Flavour is similarly strange, bringing out notes of band-aid, earthy herbal hops, and some resin. The weird plasticy, band-aid notes ruin this, but it's not a total disaster. Not very good at all.

Draft - Light sweetness and bit of pesto bismol. Clear gold with a good white head. Light sweetness and a bit of that sweet vomit kinda notes. Odd and not at all IPA like.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy light amber color, orangey, with compact head. The malt aroma and flavor is decent, a bit bready; Nugget is bitter but not aromatic enough to give good results in a Single Hop; actually there is also some diacetyl, very light aroma of it, slightly more evident flavor; and the yeast is too present, hence the final is astringent.
Imprecise.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy golden color with generous head. The aroma is more appley than hoppy. Light mouthfeel, with some residual sweetness; the malt is not expressive, there is strong bitterness, but not the expected hop qualities, some resins though, but also some woody astringency, yeast.
Requires some rework.
