355ml bottle. Clear , yellow-ish golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Grainy, minimally strawy, minimally sweet-ish, pale malty aroma, cautious malt spiciness, grassy hoppy overtones. Taste is plain bitter hoppy, slightly soapy, grassy and minimally strawy, slightly grainy pale malty basis with subtle sweetness. No, not really an alternative or, at least a non-recurring one.

355ml bottle. Clear, orangey golden colour with huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Piney, hoppy aroma, hints of tangerine and orange, biscuity and caramel malty background with a peanut touch. Taste is dry hoppy, slightly piney, cumulating hop bitterness, (zesty) notes of orange and tangerine, a touch of peach, caramel and biscuity malty basis, lingering bitter finish. Rather weak aroma, concerning taste almost paradigmatic for a special niche: the exposition of orange flavours in a typical West Coast IPA.

Bottle shared at the chriso and Ruth pre-Christmas / post-Pigs Ear holiday tasting of 2015 - London. Cheers! Picked up at UBREW. Pours mostly clear pale yellow with a creamy, white head. The nose holds lemon, honey, wheat and light spices. Light to medium sweet flavour with hints of cinnamon, wheat, dough, white sugar, vague citrus. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sugary and doughy in the finish, with more spices, yeast, hints of lemon meringue. OK stuff overall.

Bottled@AIH53 (from AbM). Hazy yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is spices, herbs, some mild floral and perfumeish notes. Flavour is coriander, zest, some aloe vera like notes as well as mild passion fruity, gingery and clove like notes. Not my favourite, but still rather enjoyable. Surprising and different.

Bottle 355ml (AIH53, ABM)
Hazy orange color, small white head. Aroma of pineapple and apple. Medium-bodied. Candyish sweet, vanilla, orange, spices and pineapple. Odd ball. Vanilla mixed with citrus and fruits is odd.
