Bottled 355ml (Alko web, BB 05/2019)
Golden colour, perhaps slightly hazy, small white head. Bready and fruity aroma. LIght-bodied. Pale malty, bready flavour, some grapefruit and tropical fruits. Doesn't feel particulary fresh, I suppose this is 1/2 years old.

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 6/5/2018. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of grapefruit, orange, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, green pepper, pine, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big grapefruit, orange, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, green pepper, pine, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, orange, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is a very nice session IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the moderately bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great hop profile as expected. Great mix of juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy hop complexity; with a nice bready Munich malt backbone for the ABV. Minimal residual sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

Pours orange from the bottle. A sudsy, frothy head lingers. An aroma full of citrus greets the nose. Hints of grapefruit and sweet, candied fruits. Taste is bitter with citric overtones. Dry and fruity at the finish. Body is medium, smooth, pleasing. Nice.

On tap at Positive Pie. Pours a hazy gold with medium white head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is pine and citrus. Slick body, dank, grapefruit pith, lingering bitterness, very good.
