Hoppy and fruity, citrus, tropical fruit and florals. Fairly light, a bit bitter, smooth. Very nice.

Can at home for J and B Craft Drinks, Amsterdam, 20th October 23. Pours a fairly clear golden. Aroma is resin, pine, citrus. Taste is bitter, pine resin and pith. It’s a good DIPA, but lacks a huge wow factor

Can. Pours somewhat hazy orange. Grapefruit, grain, lemon, little toffee, little bitterness, little tropical. Medium body. Solid.

A pint can of Second Fiddle acquired from Halftime. I’m missing the best by date by a few months, just to pass along. I lift into a snifter and see an opaque, gold body and a steadily reinforced, thin white skim of foam. I smell citrus, hops and meadow. The drink, nice as hoped for, is ruby-red grapefruit, crackers, lemon and malt. A bit of sweetness and a respectful amount of bitterness. This takes me back to a different time for IPAs. A compliment for sure.

16 ounce can. Medium gold pour. Tight frothy white head. Nice lacing. Earth, bready malt aroma. Herbal hops. Bright citrus hop flavor upfront. Notes of lemon, lime and pine. Some bitter greens and herbal notes on backend. Quite bitter, yet complex.

16oz can pours a murky corn yellow with some lacey white head. Nose is nice, simple grist and corn, dandelion, big tropical nose, pineapple and guava. Flavor is simple with passionfruit and some flowers, grist, pineapple. Grassy. Finishes medium bitterness with some gentle sweetness.

16oz can from Halftime. Hazy golden pour, small silky head. Aroma brings citrusy hops, pure and simple. Taste is more hops, lemony, citrus, that leaves your palate tingling. Slightly dry, sweet, plenty bitter.
