Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: murky orange to copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: floral to tropical fruity to lemony hops with a low key biscuity malt backbone
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to blend bittersweet with a light finish of lemon to tropical fruity character
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, fairly mobile along the tongue (not watery, not smooth, not dry, not astringent, just moves like beer)
Overall: good AIPA I could return to.

Teku showing turbid pale straw with two fingers of clean white foam.
The nose shows a lot of meyer lemon and pinapple with hints of cream.
The palate is well carbonated and medium bodied. Meyer lemon and pineapple with a very well balanced adzuki maltiness followed by barely any bitterness. Drinks closer to a pale ale.

Keg at BrewDog Soho, 05/04/24. Hazed golden orange topped with a white head. Nose is orange zest, grass, lychee, ripe melon, grass. Taste comprises mixed citric pith, pine nip, melon, pineapple, citric tinged straw, light breads. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with balanced light juicy hop bitterness. First time I've had a non sour IPA from this brewer I think ... it was no wow but perfectly serviceable.

Canned 1/10/24, drunk 2/2/24. Moderately-to-heavily hazy tangerine-golden Large frothy, off-white head slowly recedes to rocky cover. Light floral notes, cracker, bland malt and oat. Wouldn't guess nelson, wouldn't really be able to guess anything it's so vague and light. Mostly just bland cracker. Very light pine suggestions with earth and mineral. Hints of white wine and tropical fruits. Super soft texture. Dry. Just sooooo low in flavor. Little to no bitterness, watery. Vague.

Sampled at Snallygaster 2023. Pours a murky yellow. Nose has some orange and mango. Did I catch some tartness in the mouth? My notes are funny. Light berry and some cereal.
