Bottle sample at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Thanks Tom L. Hay deep golden. Aroma of chalky malt, minerals and some floral/earthy/citric hops. Sweetish flavor with chalky malt, a bit of minerals, and a bitterish finish with some hops. Medium-bodied.

Amber, clear, thin bubbly white head
Aroma of sweet pale caramel malts, touch of sweet honey, not that hoppy, mainly sweet malts, slightly buttery
Taste of caramel malts, some citrus hops, citrus zest, getting a slight buttery note and the fruits are a bit non-descript, more hoppy than the aroma, mainly fairly malty but overall quite good
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, bit oily, quite sweet, some bitter zest. Finish as main flavour, some zest, sweet malts, ok getting a bit of spicy hop in the finish
Overall - Not a bad beer, but I’m not sure what it’s trying to be - maybe I’ll pick up a bottle and compare

Interesting beer. Not quite sure I would have labeled it an IPA however, more of an ESB flavor to it. Color is tremendous though, unfiltered orangey brown color, very inviting. Nose is bready malts, some wheat, maybe dark tea too. Taste is initially very tea-like with a little piney apricot hop notes. Beautiful finish. Nice one.
