Keg at Rbabarrab, CPH, 11/11/17. Clear golden copper with a decent off white cap. Nose is cantaloupe melon, citric tinged straw, bread dough, toasted grains, floral notes, orange peel. Taste comprises light pine needle, juicy citric shreds, melon, light mineral notes, grassy, splash of grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced juicy hop bitterness. Decent enough easy drinking DIPA if falling a touch short on one I'd revisit.

On keg at 57 Thomas Street, Manchester. Pours clear pale golden with a white head. Aroma: fresh, citrus, floral hops, grass. Taste: crisp, dry, light sweet, light to moderate bitter, citrus pith & zest, ripe fruits, grass & pine. Light to medium body with fine carb & a short, dry finish. Hides the ABV well. Nice!

100ml taster, draught at Protokoll. Spotty lacing from a film-type layer. Close to clear golden body. Ripe citrus nose. Rather solid taste profile of mid-sweet dried fruits and citrus peels, malty sweet backbone. Fruit bitter rather long tail. Fine depth. Good drinking. (Berlin 14.01.2018).

Aroma is soft citrus with some detergent. Has a pretty much perfect head and foggy golden body with no carbonation. Has a decent citrus flavour with little complexity, but the huge abv is also nowhere to be found. Average finish, but also as great as the big booze is hidden. It's very nice and well made to be so refreshing at such a high abv. Perhaps a little dangerous, but that's no concern of mine.
