Can. Very hazy gold beer, good cream colour head. Palate is fluffy and has decent fine carbonation. Airy malts, modestly sweet. Decent cooling piney hops. Very mild hop spice. Orange and orange pith, spicy orange and floral orange. A good gamut of hop flavours but overall it feels slightly recessed. Pretty drinkable though.

330 ml bottle from Kris Wines, London, bb 1/12/16.
Amber, hazy body, with a massive, fluffy, lacing, off-white head.
Aroma of citrus, pine, orange, peach, berries, some candy, slight soap.
Tastes of grapefruit, orange, citrus, some berries, some earth, biscuit, some grass, slight herbs.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes bitter, a bit dry, zesty, citric, grassy, a bit piney, a bit herbal.

Very nice. Fruity and medium bodied, while it drinks quite fresh. Not fully balanced though in my opinion, has some herbal notes that doesn’t fit very well. Still a quaffable IPA, while nothing outstanding.

Can. Nose is sweet, lime, corriander, yeast, banana, toffee, floral.Taste is big corriander, lime and pepper. Floral body with a pronounced lemon grass finish. Drinkable but to much citrus in the profile for my taste.

Keg at BD Soho, 21/10/16. Black with a decent tan cap. Nose is light perfume, sweet malt, coconut, chocolate. Taste comprises Bounty Bar (red wrapper with cardboard insert), brown sugar, toffee, light roasted tones, coconut shavings. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent coconut affair without going overboard as is sometimes the case!
