Darker golden colour, creamy off-white lacing; aroma of peachy, orange peel, pomelo and floral notes; hop-dominant taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; really good classical IPA

Draft at the brewery. Mostly clear gold color, light, sheeting white head. Grapefruit and pine hops, bit of caramel, light straw note. Mid-bitter. Clean and drinking, dry finish on the mouth. Pretty solid.
