Can. Clear golden, frothy white head. Malty, hoppy aroma, light piny and fruity notes. Bitter malty flavour, smooth pine. Dry, bitter finish. Nice old school IPA and quite decent overall.

Can, best before 1/5/23, drunk 12/9/22. Mostly clear, bright brass-lemon-golden. Small, white head to cover. Lemon and tea from the I7, with no rampant scallion, but still the telltale vegetal spice from the mosaic. Cracker malts and clean yeast. Spicy, citrusy, earthy and with good black tea character from the I7. Light, crackery with some soft honey sweetness, as well. Good attenuation. No flaws, clean yeast, no booze or resin. After all that, though, there's nothing overly compelling here either. The I7 is interesting, as usual, that's about it.

Had this at the Lost Abbey Church. Earthy, some sweet malt, a nice citrus- orange, note. Decent IPA.

Gold, bright, but no head. Earthy, medium bitterness, good balance. Splash of alcohol. Pretty good.
