355ml bottle from Morrisons - Honey coloured body, thin white head. Syrupy body, piney notes with a bit of citrus. Okay I guess.

Amber color, huge bubbly foam head that dissipates rather quickly leaving decent lacing. Not much of aroma, no pine or citrus like most of ipas. Warery body and i think it gets even thinner as it warms up. Hoppy bitter that becomes more malt and dough, caramel. Drinkable, rather mediocre.

Pours amber with a short, off-white head. Bready, caramel aroma. Taste is leafy/herbal hops...a little citrusy. Slightly oxidized flavour....a little dry nuttiness. Very mild....barely decent taste, but a tad watered down. Hoppiness is way too benign.

Bottle from a Save-Mart. Pours very light amber with a decent creamy light beige head. Aroma is pretty evergreen. Med body. Flavor is evergreen (not saying pine, but could be) over light caramel. The hop sticks around, and I’d say this is fairly balanced. It’s certainly not intense, but it’s got to be pretty heavy IBU. That, now I’ll say pine needle, hop really sticks around for the finish. Might be one of the top Genesee contract brews.
