Pours a medium unclear amber blonde. Scent is resinous, pine, quite intense. Taste is quite malty, intense bready, some caramel, underneath a resinous, woody, pronounced hopprofile. Quite lovely , old school DiPA. Oh how I've missed these !

GBBF Day 1. Keg. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light crisp palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth malts a light creamy sweetness. Good crisp Simcoe hops. Floral marmalade, floral tangerine. Touch of peel. Pretty drinkable.
