[33cl can from Beer52.] A hazy amber pour with a fast fading white head; citrus aroma; orangey citrus taste and some muddy malts. An unexceptional IPA.

330ml can (6.5% ABV) via Beer52 (brewed in the EU). Poured into my 2000 Duvel glass at home on 6th March 2026. The 5th beer in my little 'round the world' tasting session with myself and no one else. Misty golden body, white crust that soon turned into a wisp and collar. Interesting nose and taste, berry's, hedgerow fruits and a twig or two. Liked it.

On tap at Ridgewood, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has gentle melon, some piney hops, and almost tart citrus. Flavour reveals lots of vibrant melon, citrusy hops, pine, and a crisp biscuity malt to back. Slightly mineraly palate. Great hop expression. Very good.
