The can says Vol 1. Hazy/murky greyish sort of colour is not the most attractive. Thin head. The tart part of tart IPA shows up right away, along with some subtropical fruit notes from the hops. On the palate, it's got some sweetness, light bitterness, again a papaya sort of hop accent. Good balance. Better than it looks, and all told quite enjoyable.

On tap at House of Funk, pours an opaque cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out a filthy earthy hop character, chalk, and a little wild character. Flavour is filthy, with muddled wild yeast, earthy notes, bitter hops, and chalk. Decent concept but poor execution — muddled and filthy.

Draught at the brewery
Murky blond colour. The aroma is a bit funky and footy, some citrus. The mouthfeel is rather chalky, tart, with mouth puckering feeling in the finish; some hop notes, juice and coconut, all together it has a mild rancid feeling.
Very messy and not particularly pleasant.
