On tap at Bar Hop, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of piney hops, balanced by just enough malt. Flavour is the same, bringing out shitloads of piney hoppy goodness. The malt backing is thin, but providing just enough counterbalance. A hoplover's dream.

(On tap at Bryden’s, Mar 9 2014) Pours a hazy medium orange, average white bubbly head, no lace. Aroma bright and fruity, has a real southern hemisphere hop character. Grapefruit, tropical fruit, kiwi (?), smells like a nice fresh home-made fruit salad to me. Slight sweet pale malt in support. Flavour really follows the aroma, leading with a ton of fruit and just enough malt for sweetness. The beer dries down in the middle and finishes quite dry but not particularly bitter, quite refreshing. Body fairly average, slightly high carb. Very fruit-forward IPA, super combo of hops. The bright fruit and dry finish would make a great spring-time beer, and in an indirect way remind me of a crisp and fruity white wine. Delicious.
