Panda thanks to Wingman. Just a light haze on this gold beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head that lasts no time at all. Light palate, fairly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin pale malts, a thin and modest creamy sweetness. Crisp pine. Boxy bitter hops, pith and a little astringent peel. Dry bitter finish. Not sure what the objective of this brew was, but if it was to deliver a dry and bitter beer, job done!

Hazed orange golden topped with a lasting frothy white head ... not very WC looking! I mean ... read the description again ... it's not ... just an IPA between east and west.
Nose is grass, mandarin, papaya, ripe melon, grapefruit.
Taste comprises tangerine, orange pith, pine nibble, papaya, mandarin.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come grassy hop bitterness.
Okay if a little muddled in its approach.
