Thick, bit fluffy snowwhite head over well-carbonated hazy yellow beer. Dusty hops, bit of citrus, dried garden herbs. Bit cheesy too, and a faint hint at rootspices and meatesters. Taste is more herbal and fruity and less cheese. Sweeter taste than expected, despite a touch of bitterish starfruit. Slick, good carbonation, medium bodied. Quite OK DDH IPA.

Pint can pours with a murky opaque dull gold body that has copper hues and supports a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up cantaloupe and mango as well as some peach, grapefruit and citrus zest. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of soft sweet tropical fruit juice and punchier levels of citrus. I get mango, peach, guava and cantaloupe mixing with bitter grapefruit and lime. In the background are thin notes of malts, oat and a bit of biscuit. Nice full flavored IPA.

Draught @ the Drake. Some haze, no head, and a reddish-brown sort of colour. Tart, slightly balsamic nose with a lot of cherry and a little wood. Assertively sour. This has a big cherry note, definitely a touch of almond in there from the pits. The sharpness is intense, maybe pushing the limit for me, but I like the fruit character quite a bit.

Bottle Shop. Can Light haze on this yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light, dry and has decent fine carbonation. Thin and mildly sweet malts. Thin and mildly fresh citric hops. Modest nibbly hop spice. Light dry crisp finish. Inoffensive but not very engaging.
