28th January 2017
Can. Very hazy gold beer, big pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and has decent fine minerally carbonation. Very light malts, mildly sweet. Minerals. Orange peel, fairly bitter. Pine. Robust floral bitterness. Trace of tropical fruits. Light crisp finish. Citric peel bitter linger. Unusually bitter for a West Coast IPA. Nice though!

Pour is a hazy golden with a large white head. Aroma is a real nice fruity hop with some onion and weed. Flavor is a light mouthfeel with a citrus fruit tartness. A nice profile of this hop with no sweet malt to get in the way of the hops.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours very foamily; translucent gold and white head. Lots of citrus. Maybe even zesty lemon. Certainly not orange or lime. Heading for med + body. Flavor is zesty lemon with some lightly roasty malt support. It’s very tasty and quite refreshing. Flavor is strongish.

Peppery hoppy dry nose. Dry funky, easy to drink and smooth. Decent but not overly complex.
