Tap @ the brewpub August 2020. This batch where 7% ABV. Hazy orange body under a fine, dense white head. Hoppy aroma with ripe citric fruit, peach and apricot. Taste is rather sweet and soft malty with ripe citric fruit, peach, apricot, decent bitterness and some alcohol in aftertaste. Fine body and long lasting fruity aftertaste. A fine classic IPA with a malt base, hoppy bitterness and fruity hops. Both god balance and solid in taste, highly enjoyable. Seems to be a quite different beer that previous rating from 2019.

On tap at the brewpub. It's an unclear orange colored beer with a finger thick white head. Cute lacing. The aroma is rather fruity and piney, in a way that made me think white IPA at first. Some tropical fruits, grapefruit, notes of orange and a wee touch of pale malts. The flavor is hop driven, with pine cones, grapefruit, some passionfruit and lime, and a touch of resin towards the finish. Full to medium body and a soft carbonation. Fruity finish. The beer lead my thoughts to Belgium both in aroma and flavour, but I still guess this should be considered a regular IPA. Nice. 190809
