Hazy, dark yellow pour, frothy head. Aroma is very citrusy, lots of lemon, pine, mango. Medium body. Flavour is malty, sweet, very fruity, with loads of citrus, especially lemon, grapefruit and lime, pine, grass, herbal hops. Very nice if a bit unusual double IPA. I enjoyed this .

Bottle. Pitch black, tiny beige head, nonlasting. Moderate malty nose, dry fruits, biscuits, chocolate, wood, vanilla and bourbon, later some roasted notes. Moderate bitterness, some sweetness and blackcurrant with hints of sourness. Roasted finish and aftertaste. Medium body, silky and quite warming. Lovely.

Bottle. Mostly clear pour with small head. Aroma is fruity and crisp malt, grapefruit, mango, grape, melon, pine. Medium body. Flavour is malty, nice medium sweetness, clean malt profile with a bit of caramel. Light bitterness. Good fruit flavour of mango, grape, lime, and quite a bit of pine. Finishes bittersweet and fruity. Not quite as delicate as I would have expected but nice use of some Pacific hops in a rather punchy IPA. Good stuff.
