The redefinition of the IPA. Bright tangerine and orange juice nose with an explosion of juicy tropical fruit and dank resin on the palate. Full and lush, but an easy drinker. The weight and lupulin punch of a much bigger IPA

16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours moderately hazy medium orange/amber color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky off 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 big red grapefruit, tangerine, orange juice, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, light peppercorn, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big red grapefruit, tangerine, orange juice, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, light peppercorn, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of red grapefruit, tangerine, orange juice, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly crisp/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an excellent session IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the modestely bitter/resinous/drying finish, not aggressive. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Feels like a lot of Citra/Simcoe. Very juicy and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; great bready malt backbone for the ABV. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive style example. One of the better session IPAs I've had.

On tap at The Ginger Man - Greenwich a cloudy orangey yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out citrus zest, orange fruits and resinous hops. Flavour is very juicy, with lots of rich resinous hops, some stone fruits and tropical notes. Clean and juicy, with loads of depth. Excellent.

Keg at Lådan, Stockholm. Murky orange colour, minimal head. Passionfruit and citrus up front. Dryish with light-medium body and clean, hard mouthfeel. Aluminium and husk, saccharine and citrus, some elderflowers. Husky saccharine burn and metal in the finish. Unpleasant and sharp.

Draft at Bert's in Millersville. Thick pale pulp juice with soooo much lacing. Actually pretty in its own way. Though empty hop water otherwise. Who likes this?

Sampled on draft at Tapped this beer poured a murky apricot color with a huge soapy orange white head that lingered forever and left good lacing. The aroma was bitter and resinous. The flavor was bitterish, a touch smokey and off. Medium length finish. Medium body. Not good.
