Can. A mild haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, a very mild viscosity. Good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a very light creamy sweetness, very nice. Hops bring crisp pine and an immediate hop spice nibble. Juicy citrus, reasonably bright, that lemon streak of Azacca keeping things fresh. Some candy fruits on the back end along with the hop spice. A very mild skunk runs underneath. Smooth drinking tips and pretty satisfying with it..

440ml can. Murky yellow hold, white head. Aroma of ripe mango and guava, tinned pineapple. Taste is sweet, juicy tropical mango and guava, tinned pineapple, sweet malts, pithy orange, a little booze. Full bodied. Extremely similar to the DIPA just a tad more intense and you can actually feel a bit of alcohol in this one. Preferred the DIPA but this was solid too.

Can from the Vineyard, Belfast. Appearance - hazy orange with white suds. Nose - mango, ripe melon and just an edge of papaya. Taste - mango, melon, dank but at the same time generously fruity. Perhaps passion fruit if you look for it. Orange zest. Palate - medium bodied. The texture is creamy. The finish is a refreshing combination of tang and bitter. Overall - very nice.

Pours very murkey orange-blonde. Tóó murkey, one might say, even for the style. Yet pupularity demands beers being as hazy as possible nowadays, rather than being about flavor anymore... Oh well. It's foam is medium sized, with a low-average stability. The scent has a lot of hops, presenting itself as stonefruit, papaya, and some mango. Taste is full, alcohol is a bit too sharp up front, and remains so even in the aftertaste. It's not burning, nor boozy, just a very alcoholic taste that should be more hidden in a TIPA of 10% . Of course there's a lot of dry hop going on, but 30/g a liter.... It's a bit overkill, isn't it ? I think you can make a beer at least as good as this with far less hops. Perhaps quantity isn't the only measurement we should use. It's got a very good body though. Creamy, low carbonation. A sticky, sweet aftertaste keeps the beer interesting, but never truly refreshing, the way I prefer my IPA's, even if they're NETIPA's. All and all, the beer isn't bad at all, it just misses the mark (to my preference) on color, balance, intensity,... all but body, really. And by missing the mark, it's not that any of them makes this beer bad, it's just not what I hoped it would be.

Can. Color: Very hazy orange, long lasting frothy off-white head. Aroma: Malt, hop, orange, orange peel, citrus. Taste: Smooth, dense mouthfeel, orange, orange peel, lemon peel, overripe tangerine, some tropical fruit notes, mango. Bit boozy, resinous and some pine and grass hopbitterness, dank, malty sweetish background. Over moderate bitter and moderate to over moderate sweet. Long lasting sweetish fruity finish. Above medium body, just below average carbonation. Very nice.
