Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: semi-hazy burnt orange to copper color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which settled off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: piney sweet to orangey sweet with a light undertone of green apple; super light biscuity malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes off dry with a touch of orangey to piney bittersweetness
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium; somewhat sessionable; some smoothness with a slight dry sort of tone to it; good carb level; appropriate level of bitterness assertiveness
Overall: I say it works as a West coast DIPA and I can see myself coming back to this.

Can shared in Hackney - picked up in Stowe. Pours well clear orange with a small, creamy white head. Great stuff, a little bit of a throwback, some oily pine, citrus fruits, pine, melon. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish, lovely and rounded citrus fruits, melon, pine, orange. Great stuff. Great depth. Super drinkable.

Bodney Towers light bottleshare. Big thanks to Leighton for the can. Almost clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Light sweet malts, a light creamy sweetness. Light fresh orange and tangerine. Modest pine. Trace of candy fruits on the back end. Light finish. Nice.
