On tap at 12 Kings, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Nose is very strange, with musty oranges, cucumber, some vegetables, and subdued floral hops - very odd. Flavour is along the same lines, with a very vegetal character - there are musty oranges, cucumber, brine, floral hops, and a strange skunky herbal character. What the...? Wouldn't have guessed this was a fresh hop IPA. Too many vegetal notes here.

Draught at the brewery
Murky orange-blond colour, dullish. Mild, undefined fruit aroma. The flavour starts off with cucumber, touch of plum, then leading directly to harsh pithy vegetable bitterness in the finish.
It seems immature, and it's not very pleasant.

This has a dullish cloudy colour. On the nose, there's a bit of orangey notes, sort of muddled, though. There's a sweet orange character. The yeastiness is not as pronounced. Is this really only four days old? Is that why there's this cucumber note?
