Can. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, very mildly dry and has a good fine minerally crisp snap. Light malts, sweet enough. Actually a refreshing change from the heavy-ish malt sweetness of any number of dipas recently. Crisp pine and nibbly hop spice leads a light but complex hoppy fruit array that is harder to pull apart than a seamans knot. A touch of a Nelson grape. Mild floral peach before an airy finish. Good stuff. Nerdy note - brewer refers to both Citra and Simcoe hops being used but not consistently (see description) so anyone's guess.

500ml can, mildly annoyed I missed their collab at Duration now. Almost clear golden orange, small white head. Aroma of orange, marmalade, resin. Taste of orange, marmalade, caramel, piney resin, biscuity malt background, mild bitterness. Medium bodied. Very nice IPA just wants some more bitterness.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy orange gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts deliver light smooth creamy sweetness. Hop spice immediately bites but never burns. Light pine into juicy hop fruits, a good spread between citrus and tropical fruits, tempered by some grassy hop skunk. Smooth and semi dry finish leaves a hop spicy linger. A very good all rounder.

Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grapefruit, tart fruits, spiciness, floralness and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity and bitter. Pleasant.
