Can from the brewery, 12/14/16. Clear orange pour with a frothy beige head. Aroma is grassy hops, some pale malts, orange zest, and some buttery notes as well. Drinks fairly bitter, with somewhat of a diacetyl flavor as well. Medium body, average carbonation. Okay, but that buttery thing is hard to get past. Just stops me from enjoying the other components as much, which are all solid.

Can shared in London - big thanks to Joe. Pours clear gold-orange with a creamy, white head. The aroma has some pale bread, light pale grains, tangerine, orange rind. Light sweet flavour with nice, somewhat juicy citrus, more orange, pale bread, moderate rindy bitterness. Medium bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, with further tangerine, melon, orange, light pine needles. Quite enjoyable.

Can sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Alon. Cloudy orange with a white head. Aroma of "green" and leafy hops. Flavor is quite dry, with bitterish fruity and slightly "green" leafy hops. Medium-bodied. A bit too "green", but pretty nice.

The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: I was wondering why I have never seen this beer before or this brewery. The answer is simple. No one else has. In any case, it pours a hazy orange color with a white head. Aroma is citrusy, a little wheaty, and a tad yeasty. Taste is hoppy a the front, but then dips into a pleasant malt backbone. Not a bad IPA.
