As Citrus XPA. Bottle. Big grapefruit, resin and light catpiss nose. lemony hops, light malt, honey, leafy, herbal. It comes off a bit harsh, but I guess that is the plan. Cloudy bright golden color with a high, airy head. Bright, malty, honey, lemon, orange, mineral, grass, resins. Herbal citrus and light dry tropical fruits. Very dry overall. Low bitterness, rather spritzy, High drinkability, though hops are just a bit too pissy and resiny.

Bottle (which says "Australian IPA"). Almost clear gold with a frothy white head. Aroma of grapefruit, bitter oranges, mango, some slight herbal notes. Light bodied, highish carbonation. Some crackery malt but all about hops: clean, sharpish citrus with tropical fruit backing it up. Solid bitterness at the dry and mildly astringent finish. Straightforward and good.

Draft at the Taphouse, Bangkok. Poured a hazy straw colour with a frothy white head and some broken lace. The aroma is yeast, grassy hop citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light crisp woody hop bitter, light fruity palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.
