Keg at BD Aberdeen. It pours crazy cloudy orange with a medium dense white head. The aroma is sticky, persimmon, apricot, brioche, marmalade, brioche, grassy and bread. The taste is bitter, grainy, chalky, apricot, persimmon, boozy, grassy, chives, spring onions, weed, chalkiness and rawness with a drying finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Not bad.

Hazy (double) IPA by Lord Hobo, from tap at BXL Beerfest. Thick, egg-white, dense, frothy, papery lacing head, hazy yolk-mango juice-yellow blonde robe with warm blood orange tinge. Aroma of granadilla, ripe mango, starfruit, banana mush, ripe Zespri kiwi, dough, orange juice. Sweet onset with soft lime-like sourish edge, strong passionfruit and mango aspects, soft carb with light minerally notes, soft and fluffy body, doughy and sweet-fruit-juicy especially when more of the hops kick in and the whole is lifted to tropical heights filled with mango, maracuja and guava, in quite a refreshing way; soft bitterness lingers. Exemplary NEIPA indeed.

Sample @ BXL BeerFest 2018, shared with Belgian RB crew, thanks. Dorée sur léger orange, col blanc. Arôme offre un bouquet bien houblonné marqué, agrumes à foison avec un bouquet accentué au niveau des grains. Cependant, ne note pas trop l'effet épicé de neipa senti dans d'autres versions. Palais est épais avec un côté 'doughy', petite touche douce de caramel avec un effet levure en poudre d'oignons, petite douceur collant aux lèvres sur la fin, houblonné sur les agrumes.
