From tap at Brody's, Den Haag. Aroma is fruity grassy hops with zesty citrus, light tropical fruits and herbal hoppy tones. Flavour is nicely bitter. Body is light to medium. Certainly a nice fruity herbal-ish sessioner.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated September 28, 2023. Aroma is moderately hop forward with notes of tropical citrus, passion fruit and mango. Light dank, oily notes. Faint bready malt notes with hints of alcohol. Pours a very clear, pale, yellow gold with a large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Medium high lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with light cracker malt notes. Fairly strong bitterness and faint alcohol notes. Medium light hop notes of tropical citrus, grapefruit and hints of passion fruit. Fairly dry finish with a bit of a water note. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid session IPA. Some.nice hop aroma and flavor with an assertive bitterness. Not much malt character but enough to carry the bitterness and light alcohol notes.

Gold and pale. Medium head. Toasty and piney hop, light grapefruit. Light body but still some clean pale malt. Nice balance and great drinkability.

Can from Gedeelde Vreugde. Pours hazy yellow with a lasting, small, frothy, white head. Aroma of young cheese, apricot, unripe tangerine, lime, turnip, kitchen herbs. Taste has sweetish tangerine, apple & peach along sour lime & wheat accents, bitter earthy herbs kick in on a soft breadcrust- & cracker-like maltiness, ending dry, earthy hoppy, with more 'noble' yeast & yellow fruit. Medium body, slick-oily texture, soft carbonation. Complex SIPA; endlessly drinkable.

On tap at Pizza Port Solana, Solana Beach, California, USA (back in Oct 2006). My old notes say, hazy golden/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, malty, citrus, orange, grapefruit aroma and taste. Bitter finale, decent effort.

Can 473ml (KSM Kampus, canned 05/2018) Oh boy, these are old when they land to Finland. A bit hazy yellow colour, small white head and some lace. Citrus and grass in the nose. Light-bodied. Citrus, grass, some gooseberry and light fruits in the flavour. Yes, old but shows its potential.
