473ml can. Cloudy, yellow-ish golden colour with average to huge, dense, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity and minimally piney, hoppy aroma, minimally sugary and biscuity, pale malty background, notes of lemon, grapefruit, some pineapple, orange, mandarine, melon; weak, late emerging whiffs of coffee. Taste is mildly bitter, zesty, citrusy fruity hoppy, pale malty basis with low residual sweetness, some roasty coffee bitterness as well, notes of lemon, grapefruit, some mandarine, orange zest, grapefruit rind; an integration of more interfering than complementary coffee flavours doesn't take place.
Minimally oily, watery texture, slightly dry, also minimally greasy palate, medium to fine, dense, prickly carbonation.
Nice IPA; rather cautious, submissive coffee flavours which barely come up add nothing meaningful, remain as bootless baublery -

On tap at Skaal. Pours hazy blonde with a white head. Pine, resin, some tropical fruit on the nose. Flavour has bitter pine, resin, maybe some coffee? Bitter finish.

On tap at Skaal, pours a hazy pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy coffee, citrusy hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour has a surprisingly nice combination of earthy coffee and citrusy hops, with a dry biscuity malt base. Lots of earthy coffee and bitter hops on the finish. Well-executed bad idea.

Can from Tavour. Pours gold with a fairly large froth white head. Aroma is citrus/pine with a hint of coffee. Med body. Flavor is citrus/pine with some nice coffee. Clearly a WC IPA, but the coffee adds a certain nuance. Nice ale.
