473ml can. (6.5% ABV) Pours a slightly hazy orange gold with plenty of floaties and a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild aroma of caramel malt, orange, peach and floral hops. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, tangerine, peach, mango and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Tasty and well balanced, but missing something.

Poured from the tap (ABV listed as 6.5%). Clear gold with small white head. Biscuit malt, pine hops and a bitter resin finish. Decent.

Can. Bronze colour, with not much head. Pretty heavy allium character, more than I'd like. The malts are heavy - they just don't have that beautiful Maris Otter sweetness and instead veer towards sticky. I don't really vibe off the hop character either, again because it's more sulphury/oniony than anything I want.

Clean golden colour. Light aroma of resiny hops and biscuity malts. Lean mouthfeel, off-dry; pleasant malt base, with light toast touch; the hopping character is moderate, some resins and some bitter orange peel; it ends with a slightly herbaceous touch that is not very welcome.
Overall, it lacks of hop brightness, but it's a modern IPA and it's quite good.

473mL can, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Nose brings out a nice crisp piney hoppiness upfront -- got that nice pine cone character -- with a crisp biscuity malt backbone. Flavour is crisp and bitter, with lots of biting piney hops, crisp biscuity malt, and some grassy bitterness. Crisp piney hops, with a nice bite. It's a little too bitter, even for a west coast, but works well enough. Solid.
