Poured from the tap. Know I’ve tried this before, could’ve sworn I rated it before, but alas. Hazy dull yellow with white head. Citrus hops, feint resin on the finish, decent.

Bottle from De Bierliefhebber. Aroma is fruity hops with soft creamy malt, herbal-ish weedy Mosaic, pineapple, citrus, papaya, and soft tropical fruits. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and nicely bitter. Body is medium. Soft and pleasant IPA, the Mosaic and Citra shine in particular. Good stuff!

(Can) Pours hazy golden with huge white head. Great aroma of tropical fruit and pine. Medium bodied with some texture and good fine carbonation. Great taste too. There’s a nice tropical fruit start and a good amount of bitterness in the finish. There’s some biscuit malt lurking in the background. Very well balanced and enjoyable.

16 oz draft at the Vancouver airport lounge. Pours a cloudy gold color with a small white head and decent retention. Great lacing. Mild floral hops aroma. All hops flavor with only minor juicy notes, yet not as bitter as their pale ale. Weird. I don't care for the hops flavor, but I like the lower bitterness. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Medium-light bitterness.

On tap. Pours a hazy amber-orange with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces nicely. Sweet fruity aroma of caramel malt, orange, papaya, mango, pineapple, passion fruit and piney hops. Sweet fruity flavour of biscuit malt, caramel, grapefruit, orange peel, papaya, mango and pine resin in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Tasty and well balanced.
