Unknown CD. Pours a turbid yellow body and a rocky off white head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma's: from the can it's very resinous, once in the glass there is indeed a lot of citrus juice, orange and tangerine, but also grapefruit, along with some resin. Retronasal the resin is more pronounced, with some sweetness and light citrus juice. Flavour is above moderate bitter with a hint of sweetness and light juicy sourness. Medium bodied. Long finish, firm bitterness.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy gold beer, a slightly dirty gold, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate and fairly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, dry, a good creamy sweetness manages to come through despite these impediments. Smooth pine. Ripe citrus. A little peel. Mildly bitter linger. Not bad but there are many many better DIPAs out there.

Tap at the BeerTemple, with Matthijs, 24th January 24. Pours a light hazy orange, taste is juicy citrus, marmalade and candied orange, not as intense as advertised. Decent enough

Hazy golden-orange colour with a frothy-soapy warm light beige head, good stay and leaving some foamy-soapy lacing patches. The nose is also soapy with the hops used, giving this herbal touch over the orange juice base. The taste also has this perfumy-herbal hoppiness over the juiciness. The end is drying, citrus zestiness. Was expecting a juicy bomb, but no - more of hazy-drying DIPA.

Pours murky orange into a tulip. White soapy head with medium retention recedes leaving trailing spiders. Mango and tangerine aromas. Hot with sweet mandarin, tangerine and passion fruit upfront turning to grapefruit peel and pith in the dry, lasting finish.

Definitely a strong orange juice. A little pine. Murky orange pour with good head. Bitter finish. Nice body. Good stuff. Can.
