Can from a sixer from the local Sprouts. Pours clear bright gold with a transient white head. Grapefruit pith starts the aroma. Med plus body. Dry and pretty bitter. Pale malt support oerwhelmed by grapefruit pith. HInts of lemon and pale stone fruit. Excellent.

opalescent to hazy golden colour, medium sized ecru-ish head; aroma of pine resiny, citrusy-orange peel oily, marmalade, tropical fruity and biscuity notes; perfectly balanced bittersweet taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma and some horseradish-like spicy aftertaste; really good one

Very dry, crisp IPA, much in the Maine Lunch vein, with a quick pop of grapefruit pith, tropical fruit, and a touch of peach, followed by grass, a touch of grainy sweetness, and a mild piney bitterness on the finish. Very nice pint.

Can from Ondernulpuntvijf. Light bready malt aroma with soft hoppy nuances. Hint of fruits and grain. Light bittersweetish, light body, drinkable but dull.
