Cloudy blond color. On the plus side it's a blond and dry IPA, modern, but on the other side it's quite restrained, light hop resins, very light orange peel and other fruits.

Blond color, hazy, with small compact head. The hop aroma is very nice, it's fruity with a mild musky presence. The mouthfeel is smooth, not too dry, with good body strength; the pale malts seem to provide some flavor too, but they are quickly overwhelmed by extreme bitterness; the resiny, piney, musky qualities of the hops are undeniable; the only note out of tune is some chicory-like bitterness in the final.
A bit rough, but well done.
