Nice foam and foggy yellow body, big sweet hops with vegetal hints on the nose. Flavour is nice sweet hops with a bit of cabbage. Nice oiliness but otherwise feels a little thin on the mouth. Not bad though, drinkable.

Hazy and pale, slightly dull, just a head. On the nose, there is a bit of berry but if I hadn't read the label I don't suppose I'd have known there was berry actually in the beer. Mild bitterness, again quite a bit of fruitiness, a nice hop character that goes in the direction of gooseberry, lemonene, and maybe a bit of grapefruit. Not bad, though I would say that the malt character is barely enough to make this work effectively.

Draught at the brewery
Opaque dark amber colour. There's some acetic in the aroma, malt, prunes. Good body, with some residual sugar; the acidity is very high, some vinegar and acetone too unfortunately, hiding some interesting Red Flanders note. I wouldn't be able to drink more than this 5oz.
Unbalanced, and too much undesirable acids, but still an interesting experiment.

Tap. Pours slightly hazy amber, small off white head, good lacing. Aroma is nutty, malty, wheat bread, rich of citrus. Flavor is light plus sweet, light bitter. Medium body. Nice

The aroma is very soft barley of no distinction, has mellow black body and some beige foam on top. Flavour is good coffee, okay barley, nothing comes out too bright. Mouthfeel is crisp and full. This is okay but only delivering half of what I think it should be delivering.

Soft hops on the nose, has a cloudy yellow body with modest foam. Flavour is soft hops and okay sweet sourness. Mouthfeel is a little crisp. It's okay, unintrusive, reasonably well made.

Poured from the tap. Cloudy golden yellow with white head. Aroma of funky barn, taste of lactic citrus, hint of skunky bud. Doesn’t quite hit the mark.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Nose is very strange, with musty oranges, cucumber, some vegetables, and subdued floral hops - very odd. Flavour is along the same lines, with a very vegetal character - there are musty oranges, cucumber, brine, floral hops, and a strange skunky herbal character. What the...? Wouldn't have guessed this was a fresh hop IPA. Too many vegetal notes here.

Draught at the brewery
Murky orange-blond colour, dullish. Mild, undefined fruit aroma. The flavour starts off with cucumber, touch of plum, then leading directly to harsh pithy vegetable bitterness in the finish.
It seems immature, and it's not very pleasant.
