A bold IPA that showcases hops front and center. A light malt profile allows citrusy aromatics and tropical fruit flavors to shine through a crisp, hoppy finish.

Slightly opalescent pale yellow colour, minimal off-white head; aroma of tangerine, orange, some citrusy, grassy and celery notes; taste is the same with great amount of hoppy bitterness and some mango and minimal apricot jam notes; excellent IPA

Can from GBBF 2019 and drunk at home. Clear pale gold colour lasting white head. Citrus hoppy aroma. Hop flower aroma. Some lovely citrus flavours. Quite impressed with this. I thought light in malt and some good tangerine orange satsuma flavours. Some light bitterness on the finish. Very tasty.

GBBF Day 2. Can. Light haze on this paleish yellow gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Nice fruity hoppy nose. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Light and sweetish malts. Pine. Light and floral citrus. Touches of spice and bitterness. Modest tropical fruits. All comes together very well.

(On tap) Slightly hazy golden with almost no head. Nice aroma of pine and passion fruit. Light body with plenty of soft carbonation giving great mouthfeel. Nice fruity start, pleasant light malt and decent hoppy bitter finish. Very solid drinkable beer.

Can into a SA Perfect Pint showing well filtered pale straw with half a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows moderately intense clean notes of pine. The palate is light bodied and well carbonated. Moderately intense flavors of pine and pine resin with light zesty citrus and a balanced pine bitterness on the finish. Standard fare.

[12oz bottle from Total Wines, Hunterton Beach, CA.] A pale amber pour with a loose white head; tropical fruit aroma; big tropical fruit taste, with a soapy body; and a sweet grapefruit aftertaste. A chewy and fruity IPA.
