Lemon and some light leather. Mostly just tangy. Hazy orange pour with great head and lacing. Not sure how well this hits style. Can.

16 oz can from the Dojo.Golden pour kicking up a foamy head. A lot of bits floating around in the glass, like an unfiltered Bell's. The nose throws out some nice cinnamon and a bit of vanilla. Catching some clear horchata in the taste. I might have thought any rice would ferment out, but the flavor is there, perhaps aided by lactose. Still some malt and a slight hop at the sides of the palate. Enjoyable summer quaff. Don't know how horchata is supposed to team with Mexican food, frankly, but I'd suggest it as a compliment to any spicy or meaty food.

16 oz. can from the Dojo.Pale, hazy pour kicking up a foamy white head. Resiny American hop nose, plus an edge of citrus. Taste is pretty well standard for the style. Though the malts are kind of thin to support the big hop bouquet. This could use some more texture and maybe more noticeable alcohol. But overall pretty tasty.

On tap @BPBW. Hazy golden, no head. Tropical fruits, some honey, moderate bitterness, very well balanced. It's pretty close to a NEIPA, I thought this was an old school west coast. Can at home. Pours hazy deep golden with thick head. Nose is a juicy-fruity hop bomb with the same character in taste, plus some "green" hoppy notes to it, with moderate bitterness and no palpable malty base. Long lasting moderate, but definitely bitter finish, light to medium body and dangerously high drinkability. Perhaps too much excellent beers were drunk during the festival, but it felt even better from the can.

On tap @ Beer Week in Budapest, Saturday session. It's a nice mix of a pils and an IPL, closer to the first in most aspect, but with the hop profile and bitterness of the latter.

On tap @ BPBW, Saturday session. Pours black coloured with thin head. Nose is an amazing combination of grains, chocolate, some vanilla, woody and earthy notes, big fat jam-like fruits and heavy walnut(ish) character and just enough boozy touch to not be unpleasant. The taste follows the aromas more or less in the same proposition and order, merged together incredibily smoothly and beautifuly. Long lasting, sweetish finish, heavy, oily body and soft carbonation. This one really hit the spot for me, amazing beer.
