Bottle from supermarket shared in camper van. Bit hazy golden with white head. Indeed some pine, sweaty and flowery Soraci Ace, light caramel malts, light lime and grapefruit. Medium sweet and bitter, very light tart. Medium bodied with slight creamy feel. I quite enjoy this, classic US IPA.

Bottled. A hazy dark golden beer with lazinv yellowish head. The aroma has notes of spices, hops, catamel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, spices, and hops, leading to a bitter finish.

On tap at Moa. Lots of pine, spruce, biscuit, orange. Controlled bitterness with some sweetness too. Not particularly exciting, but very drinkable.

Bottle. Light amber with a large white head that lasts OK. Yes, pine, but also grapefruit, boiled oranges, butterscotch, herbal lemon and spices. I guess I’m drinking it about 10C and either that’s too warm or this is sickly sweet and maybe a bit slick. The citrus and some light tropical notes come through but it’s distracting. Off dry finish with medium high bitterness. Just OK - probably caught it too late.
