Taster showing pale gold with a finger of clean white foam.
The nose shows moderately intense rounded malts with lighter notes of pine and pineapple.
The palate is well carbonated and light to medium bodied. Malt forward with a moderate pine edge throughout and a sharp IPA pine bitterness on the finish. Pretty standard stuff.

Can. Gold, white head. Light bready aroma with gentle floral notes, a touch of butterscotch. Pretty much how it tastes. Just a hint of slickness. Bitterness is too tentative for a pils. But pleasant enough.

Can. Just clouded gold with a 2cm white head. Aroma of Meyer lemon, grapefruit, crackers, light herbal notes. Just on the dry side with rich enough pale malt before citrus, herbs, a touch of resin and a firm bitter finish. Polished.

Can - clearly says IPA on the label. Misted gold with an inch of white head that subsides. Floral aroma with Meyer lemon peel and light bread. Moderately sweet but dries out a little towards the moderately bitter finish. Pleasant citrusy hops but plainish.

Bottle. Pours a dark orange hue with a medium white head. A sweet malty nose. Caramel, bitter hops, paper. It's not great.

Can. Pours a clear orange hue with a large white head. A light very floral nose. Sweet, toast, little bitterness, grassy. OK. Not very good, certainly not an IPA.
Smoke and sourness! Just what you’d imagine!

Golden color. Frothy white head. Interesting note of Pilsner malt (I believe) and some fruity overtones. Not overly bitter,, but the malt character really stood out, though didnt match the style at all. It was like they got some fresh ingredients and said fuck it, lets just try to make an IPA with this. Beer was in great condition and I enjoyed it, but once was enough.
