16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours very hazy golden orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, brown sugar, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, palm sugar, and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, brown sugar, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, woody, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, brown sugar, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, palm sugar, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Minimal warming alcohol for 8%. Overall this is a very nice DIPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, palm sugar, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV with the moderately bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Feels like mostly Columbus, Chinook, and Simcoe; which is unique for a hazy style. Very juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; nice bready malt/sugary backbone, with minimal residual sweetness from lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example as expected.

Can shared in Hackney - picked up in Boston. Pours hazy orange-gold with a creamy white topping. Nice aroma, some white grape, dank pee, pithy lemon. Light sweet flavour, quite dry, a bit of chalk, pithy grapefruit and lemon. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Dry and flinty in the finish, some crisp pale bread, more minerals, hay, lemon peel. Alright.

Can thanks to LKS. It pours cloudy orange with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh, bright, juicy, orange, candy, apricot, peach, passion fruit, orange marmalade and orange tango. The taste is dry, bitter, apricot, persimmon, pineapple, bit green, weedy, bit of spice, some alcohol and earth with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Rather fresh, fruity and green. Good fun.

Bodney towers bottleshare. Big thanks to Leighton for the can. Pretty orange - gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, light fine minerally carbonation. Fluffy malts, super light creamy sweetness. Lovely citrus, floral citrus, slightly spicy, nice pineapple on the back end. Smooth finish with a mild bitter linger. Very crushable.
