500ml bottle from Volcanic Bottle Shop. Clear golden pour, stiff, rocky head leaves rings of lacing. Light, pleasing citrusy aroma. Taste is mild grapefruit and lemon zest with a nice bready backbone. Just a hint of dryness at the finish and a dull tingle that gradually fades away.

Bottle at home shared with Johnny. Hazy yellow color, medium sized white head. Aroma is malts, hops, fruity hops. Not that special, but nothing wrong with it either. Flavor is malts, hops, fruity hops, old school fruity-bitter hops with pine notes and maybe light resin, firm bitterness towards the end. Solid, not great.

500mL bottle. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Tons of bright pine, juicy melon, and biscuit malts on the nose. Flavour has crisp pine, fresh melon, and biscuit malts. Good carbonation. Fantastic IPA.

4oz pour on a flight on 16th June 2024 (Father's Day) in Lido Bottle Works, Newport Beach. Clean golden body, decent white crown. Nice hop bite, piney and semi-bitter.
