Bottle shared on Level 42 for Cloin's 20K Tasting, 13/09/2017. Many thanks to Colin for this oen. A light hazed golden yellow coloured pour with a loose white head. Aroma is vanilla doughy wheat, pine, crayon, pineapple. Palate is semi sweret, doughy, frothy carbonation. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, tangy pineapple, orange, spicy citrus, apricot, woody citrus. Ok. Little boosty.

Bottle split at my 20K @L42, picked up at LBL, 13/09/17. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white head comprises of sturdy bubbles. Nose is bitter orange, melon, light pine strokes, bready, minerals. Taste comprises orange pith, grains, light dank tickle, grapefruit, toasted malts. Medium + body, fine carbonation, semi drying close with semi dank hop kiss. Decent enough DIPA without being a show stopper.

Bottle shared in London on cloin's 20k - cheers folks! Pours cloudy gold with a foamy, white head. Good snout, nice citrusy elements, some tangerine, general rindy citrus. Light-medium sweet flavour, oddly soapy, with some rindy bitterness, lemon peel. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more rind, oily soapy notes. So so overall. (September 2017, score: 3.2)
Had another bottle (late October 2017) and liked it a lot more. Fairly sweet, a little flinty, nice rounded juicy character. No off notes. Quite solid. (Score: 3.8)
