Not quite milkshake looks, but a really cloudy bright gold with sticky off-white head. The aroma is really juicy - mostly orange juice with only little zest. A bit too juicy for my taste, would love more resins, but it is certainly more accessible the way it is. The flavour is also quite juicy, though noticeably less fruity and more pithy than the aroma. Not much sugar / lactose exposed, thankfully. The little amount of bitterness that is there is smooth and mellow - fresh citrus peel, mostly. The texture is quite chewy, though not quite milkshake. Again, thankfully. Overall, a really juicy, neither aggressive nor too tutti frutti nicely executed hazy IPA.

Almost clear amber-red, creamy beige head. Really malty crystal aroma, with some sugared grapefruit and zest for balance. The taste is justa as malty and the body is full and slightly sticky. Moderate smooth citrus peel bitterness. A nice malty old style IPA.

On Christmas Eve at the Lumencraft Pub. Cloudy red-brown, beige head. Smells of cocoa muffins with dark fruit - nice but very faint, and there's a lot of harsh stricken match like phenols. Tastes as bland but simple and easy drinking Belgian ale - light fruit, traces of bread or muffins, moderate fruity pastry sweetness, light phenolic spice. Soft carbonation, light astringency. No zest. Not as bad as I thought, now that is has settled. Drinkable.

Hazy golden, creamy head. Smells like peach mango you-name-it sweet fruit juice, little resins left, little über-fresh hops oils - seems a little over-conditioned (but I guess the crowd loves this. Hints of bready malts. The taste shifts away from the fruit and towards the resins - a little orange pulp, more orange peel and pith. Quite a bit of mouth coating zesty bitterness, while staying soft and approachable, and, more importantly, crisp and quenching. In the end, it is, thankfully not yet another fruit juice, but midway between New England and West Coast (Mid west, I guess ;-)). Excellent.
