Sample during the Orange You Glad to CA Wave of IPAs? tasting on 05/22/2021. Dark brown pour with a medium light beige head that recedes steadily to a film. Sparse strings of lace. Aroma of earthy hops, roast malt and fruit. Medium body with flavors of piney hops, roasted malt, nuts and fruit. The finish is hoppy up front with a roasty malt aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Bottle with cork from Beerdome, webshop, Grootegast, Netherlands and consumed at home. Had this Friday 30th April 2021 listening to three Iggy Confidential on 6Music. Pours clear warm gold in colour with a fast disappearing head. Great aroma, brett all the way with a little damp wood. Fruity, tangy, sour, sharp lots of lemonyness, this real gives the tongue a serious work out. Funky, tart and dry, it's good, just a little bit too much to drink on one's own.

Can, 0.355l. Aroma of citrus, mango, pine, biscuit and bubblegum. Pours hazy golden color with thin creamy off-white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts medium sweet malty, following is juicy tropical fruity and citrusy with bready note, smooth mouthfeel and average bitter finish. Medium body, slick texture and lively carbonation in palate. Refreshing thirst quencher...

Bottle shared in London - cheers! Pours mostly clear brown-gold with a thin, foamy topping. Good and rich, tart and leathery berries abound, light vinegar present, lemony acidity. Light to medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Quenching finish, with light acetic bite, more leathery fruits. Sound.
