On tap at Park Burger in RiNo pours a clear gold with some creamy, one finger head. Nose has orange peel, some grapefruit too, grassy, dank, some onion patch, perhaps a little apricot. Flavor follows with a bit more tropical fruit, some guava, some mango, orange, pine, soap. Full bodied, sticky finish.

I am tired and thirsty... Smell- weak, fruits, hops, lactose?, sweet. Foam- thin, hops, citrus, faint fruits, grapefruit. Head is quite large, yellow-white color. Sticks. Appearance- somewhat simple label, there is some pattern before writing and even if it is unique for every beer not worth giving a bonus. Hazy yellow, orange color, medium carbonation. From - pint Price - 6 euros Taste - fruity, sweet, hops, bitterness, citrus, resin, maybe burned sugar, sticky and more hops. Sweet-bitter mix bit weird and sticky feeling feels even like it wants to give a hop burn but does not so far. Edit - hop burn definitely persists at the end... lowering the score.

Can from Glasbanken. Hazy yellow with a white head. Citrus, some pineapple, tangerine and notes of resin. Kind of mild and easy to drink.

Sample during the Orange You Glad to CA Wave of IPAs? tasting on 05/22/2021. Slightly hazy orange-gold color with a medium thick frothy white head that diminishes steadily to a film. Partial rings of lace. Herbal hops, citrus and malt aroma. Medium body with flavors of resiny hops, citrus and biscuit malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a resiny hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Just random grab, can said best by few weeks back but still tasty. Clearish golden small frothybhead. Nose is ripe fruit and light pine. Tastes of cantaloupe, honey dew, pine, bubblegum, herbal. Crisp.
