Panda thanks to Cloin and then a can. A medium haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head that doesn't last. Light smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. A decent creamy sweetness from the pale malts. Hops bring soft pine into a decent hop fruity array, bright and broad spectrum, reasonably juicy. I suspect Motueka and Eclipse or Nectaron, would be nice to know but, as so often with Cloudwater it's a need to know and we don't. That grumpy about their arrogance aside, this is a good IPA.

440ml can from The Fuss Club. A hazy golden/orange/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, orange, lemon, lime, some tropical fruit taste/aroma. Quite vegetal and dank, thin but still rather drinkable. Cloudwater can still do better than this offering.
