Can from Bine & Vine. Pours hazy gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is citrus, and includes pine. Med body or so. Pale malt hardly noticeable. Flavor seems citrus/pine. Pretty dry. Not really juicy. Hoppily bitter. Good stuff.

Can from Cap Tap. Pours very hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is sort of milkshake with a cat pee note. Med + body. Flavor is lactose/milkshake with a lot of citrus related fruits. Yet it's floral and a bit earthy. Pretty dry for a milkshake, and very hoppy and bitter. It is super excellent.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours dark brn/blk with a tan head. Aroma is very chocolate, supported by sweet dark malt. Could be a coffee note. Med body or a bit more. Flavor is rather bitter chocolate over some very dark and toasty malt. Quite smooth in the mouth. There may be a light touch of coffee. For me it’s mostly chocolate - dark/earthy - yet there might be a touch of lactose to lighten it. Very nice.

Pour is a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is a real nice fruit cocktail of pineapple and mango. Flavor is citrus with a bit of bitter orange peel and a bit of sweetness is left on the tongue. Pretty flavorful fruit hop forward without a huge bitterness. This was good stuff.

Can from Cap Tap. Pours very hazy/juicy with a large foamy/creamy white head. Aroma is citrus with some orange and a lot of tropicals. I nominate guava for one of them. Med body or so. It's juicy, but only hints at dank. Juicily undry. Very, very hoppy but not harsh or even very bitter. Just bitter enough. Think I can detect light caramel support. This is very tasty ale.

Can at home in Hackney - big thanks to Blipp. Pours hazy gold with a frothy, white head. The aroma holds pithy lemon and grapefruit. Light-medium sweet flavour with more pithy citrus character, some lemon rind, grapefruit, modest pale bread, minimal bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, more citrus fruits, tangerine, grapefruit, hints of melon and pizza crust, nips of bitter lemon rind. Overall, a very drinkable pale ale.

Can at home in Hackney - big thanks to Blipp! Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. Lovely pissy hops in the nose, grapefruit, melon, lime, a little cat urine, pine. Medium sweet flavour with supportive pale malts, mild rindy bitterness, more cat pee, citrus, grapefruit. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Well balanced finish, some semi-ripe citrus fruits, mild mango and papaya action, more pale bread, melon, orange rind. Outstanding.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is intensely tropical and citrus. Med body. Somewhat juicy. Flavor impact resembles dank. Earthily dry for me. Light malt is discernible. A variation on astringent. More tropical than citrus. Moderately bitter, but the flavor intensity makes up for that. This is fairly different stuff. Really good.

Keg at Bottlecraft - San Diego. Pours clear copper with a creamy, white head. The nose has some berries, bready malts, orange peel. Light sweet flavour with mellow toffee, some leafy bitterness, lightly toasted brown bread, nips of butterscotch. Light bodied with average carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, more lightly toasted malts, leaves. Enjoyable.
