Strong boozy but perfectly hopped to balance it. Very classic styled and well done. Bitter and malt and aroma balanced. Brewdog hamburg

Can. Color: Hazy golden, large stable frothy white head. Aroma: Bitter and subtle fruity hop, combined with sweetish malt. Taste: Hopbitterness and subtle orange and tangerine fruity hints. Grassy and bit resinous. Medium to over medium bitterness, light to moderate sweet malty background. Nice one, finally an IPA again that's going for hopbitterness in stead of that 'modern' over fruity NEIPA's..

Crowler from BD Inverurie. It pours lightly hazy golden - orange with a medium frothy white head. The aroma is sweet and sticky, resinous, oily, jelly beans, gummy bears, ripe grapefruit, tinned mango & peach. The taste is dry, good hit of bitterness, resinous, sticky, grapefruit, pithy citrus, pomelo, toothy, peppery spice, mango, peach, touch of greenness with a lingering bitter finish. Medium+ body and moderate, yet soft carbonation. Really grew on me. Sweet in the aroma but nice bitterness in the mouth-hole.

Can split at L6, thanks to Tipple, 'Farewell New Ken' tasting 18/09/19. Almost clear golden blonde with a decent off white cap that stays for the show. Nose is bitter orange, grass, grapefruit, light caramel malts, straw. Taste comprises grass, ripe melon, bitter orange, citric tinged straw, grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with lightly aggressive grassy hop bitterness. Ok old skool leaning DIPA but probs not one I'd turn to again.

Can shared with TdeRoeck. Hazy yellow to light orange color, medium sized white head. Aroma is resinous hoppy. Flavor is malts, hops, resin, pine, bitter, typical old school resinous piney DIPA. Love it.

21/XII/19 - 1Pt. can @ home, BB: 3/II/20, canned: 3/X/19 - (2019-2167) Thanks to Benzai for sharing the can!

Mainly clear orange beer, very big creamy foamy yellowish head, very stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice, old school West Coast IPA? Fruity touch, lychee, some canned pineapple, orange flavoured candy. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet start, lots of (aged?) hops, pretty bitter, orange peel, some grapefruit, resinou, bit piny, some alcohol. Aftertaste: more fruity notes, old school bitter ipa, little sweet and malty, some citrus, floral, slightly soapy, lovely old school West-Coast (D)IPA, bit oxidized though.
