Hazy, vibrant pale colour. Medium head. The aroma is dank and has that sulphury allium character as well. There’s a fair bit of bitterness here. The allium hops are most prominent on the palate, with a bit of pine in there as well. The pale malts are clean, sweet and balanced.

Poured from 355mL can (pkg 19 Apr 2021). Clear blonde-ish gold with white head. Pine and a touch of grapefruit hops, slightly earthy, light biscuit malt. Decent.

On tap at Studio, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out subdued pine, maybe traces of butter, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour has piney hop bitterness, mineraly notes, earthy rye-like notes, and crisp biscuity malt. It's a bit too mineraly, but I do appreciate the piney hop bitterness. And there's a nice resinous oiliness also. This isn't quite up to par with Studio's other hop-forward beers, but it's very pleasant. Good stuff.

Clear gold with a rich white head. Dank and weedy with some citrus. Bitter up front, weedy and some pine. Nice, but quite bitter.

Nice clear medium gold body and good mostly solid foam. Good mandarin orange aroma, slight pine, lemon juice. Flavour is chewy cereal, rye bread notes. Bone dry finish. Fun, enjoyable.

Blond colour, slightly hazy. Crisp malt base, with strength and very little residual sugar, but it smells, manure, and the flavour too is questionable, slightly earthy, ending with pithy bitterness. Rough West Coast IPA, although at least they went for a modern rendition.

12oz @ home. Appearance: a bit hazy pale golden with a white head. Aroma: quite smelly at the beginning, after it changing to the light onion and some tropical fruits with low to moderate sweetness. Taste: along the same lines, malty, quite bitter aftertaste. Overall: it's definitely not my thing :-(
