Cask at GBBF 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear, rich gold with a frothy white head. The aroma holds grainy pale malts and lemon rind. Light sweet flavor with more grains and rind, some cereal. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Simple pale malt finish with lightly bitter pine needles and melony accents. OK.

Enjoy by date of 10/15/15.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking light hazy burnt orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some light messy lacing.
The smell started off with a blend of sweet citrus and bitter pine, both extremely light.
The taste blended the sweet with the bitter from the citrus to the pine. It’s delicate but there. Sticky sweet citrus aftertaste leads into a sticky sweet citrus finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. Definitely crushable to deliver the stickiness of the citrus along my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a worthy session IPA to have again.

Bottle from the Lazy Dog Brilliantly clear medium golden color with a bubbly white head that persists leaving stickies on the sides. Beautiful citrus, pine, and light green onion aroma with hints of toasty bready malt. The flavor is more toasty with green onion and a fairly dry finish. Medium to light body with a moderate level of carbonation and a somewhat watery slick mouthfeel. I still hate this new category of IPA, but this was better than some.

Pours gold into a shaker. White head with little retention recedes to pool surface. Stale marshmallow aromas. Sharp with sweet malt upfront turning to mild citrus in the abrupt finish.

Golden orange. 2 finger dense off white head. Aroma is piney, dank and orange juice. Creamy mouthfeel. Orange skins, grapefruit and some thyme and rosemary. Very juicy but hop bitterness is long lasting and sticky
