Bottle from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Paler golden coloured with a thin head. Lightly fruit hopped, there is some flavour in this ale-like pilsner! Has a few malts too.

330ml bottle. Pours clear amber, white head. Aroma is orangey pith syrup & mild pine. Taste is certainly on the hoppy side, syrupy tropical fruit and caramel. Lots of resin with a bitter hop finish.

0,5l bottle at home shared by Saeglopur, big thanks. Sticker from the importer says BB 30/06/2016. BB from the brewery (tiny stamp on the bottle neck) says 03/02/2016. amber quite hazy color, small white head. smells of pines, sweetness, some sweet herbs, citric notes, exotic fruits. full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes citric, some lemon grass, also rather watery, no pines, bit of resin. lightly bitter with notes of resin and some citric notes. lovely smell, but taste is way too simple. bit of a cheat really that the bottle has two bb-dates.

500 ml bottle from BeerLovers Vienna, bb 03/02/2016.
Amber-orange, hazy body, with a medium, creamy, off-white head.
Aroma of biscuit, orange, citrus, pine, some lychee and some more tropical fruits.
Tastes of pine, citrus, orange, some passion fruit, biscuit, some honey.
Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes bitter, dry, piney, zesty, a bit alcohol warming, fruity, a bit sweet malty.

Very nice. Not so fresh anymore, but still with some nice piney notes and subtle tropical fruits. Alcohol is noticeable, but drinks quite smooth, with a very good balance. Enjoyable DIPA, but this is propably much better when fresh.

Light haze on this gold - amber beer, decent pale cream colour head. Palate is light and slightly soft, mild fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a light creamy sweetness. Mellow but nice Nelson Sauvin hops, grape, gooseberry and a generic tropical fruit tang. Very mild bitterness develops in the semi dry finish. Hangs together well enough, a mild but tasty pale ale.
