12 oz bottle. Pours light amber with some sparse particles and a white head. Spicy, pine, citrus hop aromas. Flavor has spicy, floral, citrus, grassy hops, decently bitter, with some pale malt. Not bad.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from that random offie near Dalston Junction. Pours faintly hazed gold with a creamy, white head. Richly dank, some ripening citrus, slightly aged pine, sun-kissed malts. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Resinous finish, bready malts, citrus fruits. Really fun, old-school, west coast stuff.

Can from Citysuper on a hike (and a few times previously I think). From memory. Like a Sierra Nevada Torpedo but more pine juice and less pine needles. Definitely dank and with that classic SN west coast flavor. Solid!

This review was imported from my RateBeer ratings.

12 oz. can, 7.4% ABV

AROMA: Strong scent of hops and pine followed by hints of lemon. I noticed that as the beer warmed it took an a sweeter aroma. The hops and pine were still the stars, but the sweet citrus was quickly becoming a co-star.

APPEARANCE: Pours a clear golden brown with a medium, tight, frothy white head that dissipates very slowly with significant lacing.

TASTE: I first taste the bitter hops and pine, which is quickly followed by some kind of citrus sweetness (maybe orange?), and then for the finish there is more bitterness that slowly fades.

MOUTHFEEL: Medium-bodied with a slightly sticky texture and higher than average carbonation.

OVERALL: The flavor experience is a bit odd (bitter, followed by sweet, followed by bitter), but I kinda like it as it makes for a more unique experience. Add to that the sweet, danky, aroma and you get a pretty good beer. I'm not a huge IPA fan, but I like to try new beers, and occasionally, I actually find an IPA that I like. When I saw this on sale at the store, I figured it was a good opportunity to try something new without risking a lot of cash if I didn't like it. Well, you can call me Mikey, because I liked it!

0,355 l can. Pours hazy amber with medium, quickly dissipating off white head. Aroma of rich malt base, fruity and piney hop aroma. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter. Body is full, carbonation average, well balanced. Finish is medium long, pleasant bitterness lingers at the back of tongue for a while.
