8/5/2020. Can bought from the brewery at the start of lockdown. Pours cloudy pale orange with an average size off-white head. Aroma is piney, hoppy, malty, orange. Moderate sweetness and medium plus bitterness. Earthy and resinous finish. Definitely a throwback to early modern IPAโs.

Keg at Mother Kellyโs - Bethnal Green. Pours unclear orange with a creamy, mostly white head. Good old-school IPA, lots of piney character, decent bitterness, malty backbone, ripening citrus fruits. Medium to full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine, massaging carbonation. Lightly resinous finish, nips of grass, pine, sun-kissed malts, orange rind. Not bad.

On tap at Craft Room Zagreb. Pitch black coloured, medium sized brown head, slightly acidic honey nose. Heavy and almost unpleasant honey and wax like taste with notes of chocolate in the finish. Not for my taste.

At the venue. Pine and resin aroma with a boozy edge. Slightly cloudy amber. Thin white head. Light bitter with a boozy sour edge. medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long astringent finish. Boozy in your face IPA which matches the doom metal on the PA.
