Can. Hazy orange beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, smooth, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a light creamy sweetness, touch of caramel. Ahtanum presenting here as skunky with pretty ripe tangerine and mandarin. Mild peel bitterness into a cooling pine. Light finish leaves a mild peel bitter linger. Yeah, not a bad single hop showcase but this hop can be brighter and this beer could be a tad cleaner.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - murky yellow to orange. Fluffy white head. Nose - orange, tinned peach and pineapple. Taste - canned peach, orange zest and melon skin. Palate - close to medium bodied, tangy and zingy middle and finish. Overall - nice.

Can from Hopshop Aberdeen. It pours slightly hazy golden - amber with a small, dissipating white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, floral, piney vibes, sappy, zingy, tangy, grapefruit and pomelo. The taste is dry, bitter, sappy, piney, floral, touch of peppery spice, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, pomelo, waxy rind and only dull alcohol presence with a dry, woody finish. Average body and fine carbonation. Not a huge amount of depth, but it's pretty nice anyhow.

Can from Great Grog. Hazy deep golden body with a few flecks floating beneath a thick off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of lemon, flower petals and herbs. Flavour of grapefruit and pine with a lavender finish. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. A decent IPA that showcases a restrained, well rounded hop.
