At a tasting, thanks, small bubbly head, light hazy orange color, light shrubby piney aroma with some apricot and a hint of vegetables, a bit too strong shrubby bitterness, light bready sweetness. Drinkable but unbalanced and not too interesting.

Lata 50 cl en el kraken 31..03..2017. (r232). Embotellado 16..01..2017 Sin lote en base de lata. Color amarillento anaranjado turbio con espuma blanca. Aromas frescos afrutados algo florales y herbaceos ligeramente resinosos. Sabores frescos maltosos dulces con buenas dosis de afrutados tropicales. Piña, mango, melocotón... Suaves herbaceos y ligeramente resinoso s el final que dejan buen amargo duradero. Cuerpo medio algo pastoso y con espuma fácil de beber. Bastante buena con bastante sabor. Para repetir sin duda.

Hazy golden color with a white head, good retention and very nice lacing. Aroma has notes of resin hops, light caramel, orange zest and grapefruit. Flavor is fruity as well, mainly dominated by grapefruit, light peach, more than decent bitterness. Medium to high bittery in the final with resin notes.

Canned, from LCBO, Ottawa. Hazy golden, rich head. Grapefruit and caramel up front. Quite sweet with medium-full body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Fruity and caramelly, more on the syrupy, cardboardy, piney side than the aromatic. Resiny finish. Tired. Dated 30th Dec 2016. Tasted within 10 days of purchase.

This IPA poured a cloudy amber colour with minimal, rocky, white head. No lacing. Scents include citrus hops, bread and cream? First swig was not as hoppy as expected. Smooth and bitter with flavours of grassy hops and hay. Finish is very bitter with hop flavour lingering. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
