7.6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Poured from an undated 16 oz can. Aroma is hop forward with notes of passion fruit, guava, melon and tropical citrus. Lighter dank, oily resin notes. Light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a hazy, pale, golden-yellow straw color with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Moderately high lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Medium high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderate hop notes of guava, passion fruit and tropical citrus with a lighter dank, oily resin note. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid hazy IPA. The aroma is nice and fairly fruity, but the flavor lacks some of the fruity hop notes. Balanced malt notes, bitterness and alcohol.

Taste comprises orange peel, papaya, grass, grapefruit, pine needle, mango, hop spice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with a balanced rising boost. Tidy enough DIPA if no wow offered.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated July 28?, 2024. The date is blurry and difficult to read. Aroma is moderately malt forward with cracker and biscuit notes. Fairly hoppy as well with lots of passion fruit, guava, and stone fruit. Hints of alcohol. Pours a fairly clear, golden color with a medium large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Medium high amount of lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with medium light cracker malt notes and lighter biscuit. Fairly high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong hop notes of passion fruit, guava and stone fruit. Light dank, resin, oniony notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid pale ale. Nice malt notes with a fun, fruity hop profile. Fairly bitter, but it works well with the malt and hop notes.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, very small pale cream colour head. Light and fairly thin palate, never too thin. A very light creamy sweetness. Light crisp pine. Modest hop spice. Light bright citrus fruits, juicy and slightly ripe tangerine and mandarin. Modest mango into a light and crisp hop spicy finish. Tidy dipa, pretty drinkable, refreshing.

Can from Peders drunk at home 25/06/2024 Intense juicy fruity with a plethora of citrus and tropical fruity hits in play, lots of red grapefruit and mango, black pepper and herbal and floral hoppy notes coming in, sweet malty support, solid hoppy finish. Lovely.

Can from Peders drunk at home 25/06/2024 Terrible performance again from the 🦁🦁🦁 in the first half. Bright juicy fruity aroma and taste here, some passion fruit and grapefruit, pineapple, sweetish bready malty backing, grassy and piney into the bitter hoppy finish. Works well, tasty.

Can. An unclear golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of hops, citrus fruits, spices, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, citrus fruits, and mlat, leading to a bitter finish.
