Pours a hazy yellow golden color, topped with medium sized white head, creamy and so-so lasting. Aroma brings together fruity notes of peach, mango (the boss) and other tropical fruits with pine notes and some resin feel. Taste characterized by moderate bitterness going into not so long aftertaste. Medium light body, sticky texture. A nice IPA.

Draft. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of hops, straw, and citrus fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, citrus fruits, and hops, leading to a bitter finish.

Taste is lovely rich citrus, fruity hops, pine, dahs of fresh onion hops, mellow yeast, drinks super easily. Pleasant & very easy to drink IPA with nice vibrant hop profile, very well done easy drinking beer.

Draught Quite good, dense white head over chromate-golden, very faintly veiled beer. Bit catty & citrussy hops, garden herbs, even wild hops. Cattiness returning in the flavour, with again the "buckwheat" streak. Rootspicy malts. Light to medium bodied, very slick. Flavour disappoints a bit.

Draft @ Tilquin English Fest ’16, courtesy of and shared with the fine Belgian RB crew. Fin orangée, col blanc crémeux. Arôme est fruité, agrumes assez plaisant, rétro grains, le tout tirant sur un fleuri assez anglais, et léger tropical. Palais est finement malté, fruité avec un houblonné fortement bien restitué offrant une tonalité d’agrumes et une base maltée qui couvre la fin.

Had initially in KL but this time bottle from SIPS at home in HK. Hazy dark straw yellow pour with fluffy white head. Aroma is pleasant sour fruit bitterness. Taste is different - more biscuit malt and almost pilsner-like bitterness. None of the sour fruitiness from the aroma. Not bad but nothing special.

Hazy golden with a white head with decent retention. Dank smell, of citrus and pine hops. The taste is dominated by citrus hops, with just a hint of pine, but other than that it’s quite simple. Refreshing and enjoyable.
