From tap at the brewpub. Pale yellow, medium hazy body, with a big, fluffy, off-white head.
Aroma of wet grass, lemon candy, stone fruits, some resin. Tastes similar, more resinous.
Quite creamy mouthfeel, with an average carbonation. Finishes medium bitter, grassy, dank, citric, resinous, a bit piney.
I still don't get what the difference of a Cold IPA to a regular IPA is supposed to be. Quaffable and characterful nonetheless, with lovely resinous notes.

On tap at the brewpub in Munich. Lightly hazy yellow, fluffy white head. Nose is floral, light citrus blossom, light tropicals. Flavor has some oats and malt, hand soap and flowers. Pillowy but fairly understated. 6 3 7 3 13. Easy drinker.

Hazy yellowish. Aroma is super fresh mandarin and orange with light peach and huge grass. Taste is quite rural bitter grassy hops with a fruity fresh punch. Super crisp and amazingly refreshing. Excellent stuff!

Tap at the source. Super juicy tropical aroma. Medium body, sparkly dry, nice grassy, piny backstop. Intese and drinkable.

Drunk after the first day in my new office building, at Higgins which is conveniently 300m away. Fruity nose with lots of citrus, pineapple, pine, a bit of flowers. Very intense flavor! Slender body, nice smooth but commanding bitterness. Hints of caramel. The multi-fruit, slightly-tropical, mildly dank notes are just awesome!
