Excellent custard coloured foam on a soft copper body. Aroma is good orange zest, soft malt, maybe vague pine. Taste is tart pine, orange rind, mellow maltiness, something like a cocktail bitters vibe going on. Ends dry and smooth with good oiliness. Nice, the bitter tonic angle works well with the hops.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy, with creamy head. The aroma is moderately herbal. Bitter Ale, strong, but loses a bit the qualities of the IPA, while the herbal touch is moderate, indeed rooty more than flowery.
Not so bad, not so interesting.

On tap at Storm, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Nose is very medicinal and earthy, with oranges, grapes and resinous hops. Flavour is medicinal and earthy, with not much fruitiness or hops. Not my thing at all -- way too medicinal for me. Not good.
