Can picked up from Beer Republic Webshop Breda Netherlands and consumed at home Thursday 17th November 2022 in bed listening to Marc Riley on 6 Music after a meal at Weihenstephan Bräustuberl.. Pours dark gold edging towards light amber, Good nose, a little fruity and with some resinous touches. Taste is good, marmelade citrus, a nice bitterness, fruity throughout. Good.

Clear pale yellow form a scary looking can. Lots of grapefruit in the nose but it doesn't really smell like an IPA. Taste however, borders on IPA, I've tasted many IPA that were less insulting than this. Yes, stronger grapefruit rind impact fersher. Not much co2 and yes it is somewhat mouthcoating. Finish is definitely IPA. Longish bitter finish, just like any clean terribly on style IPA.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours gold with a creamy white head. Aroma has a lot of orange with even a touch of zest. Med body. Flavor is orange and zest with lightly roasty malt in support. Pretty dry. Pretty bitter. Pretty good flavor.
