Hazy orange colour and small steady white head and lace. Some riped fruits in the nose. Light-bodied. Piney hoppy flavour with underlying tropical fruits. Nice mix of west and east but yeah.

Drinking straight out of the bottle on the patio in the dark, so I'll just suppose the appearance is average. Decent malt smell, a little grainy. Taste settles in as a basic ale, grainy again, work some hop workshops in the background.
