500ml bottle that pours a hazy golden-amber colour with a big creamy, full, long lasting warm cap, leaving some nice waves of creamy thick lacing. Aromas are a blend of oranges and grassy, herbal notes. Flavours are on the bitter side with citrus zest and a nice dryness in the finish. The oats seem on the light side. Fruity enough, but not the fruitiest DIPA, but if you like nice hoppy bitterness in your Double IPAs - you will like this.

500ml bottle from the brewery pouring a dark brown colour with little copper highlights. The frothy head is light-beige, warm, disappearing slowly and leaving some bubbles on top. Roasted malt nose with some hints of molasses, chocolate and caramel. Taste of burnt malts with some light sweetness from the oatmeal. Not much else going on, and seems watery for this version of 5.4% ABV.
A deep dark stout with a thin lacing mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, graham crackers, vanilla, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet chocolate malt with loads of dark fruits, vanilla, light coconut, Nanaimo bars in a beer. On tap at brewery.

355ml can from the brewery that pours a hazy golden colour with a big warm, frothy, kind of creamy head that lasts quite a while and leaves big chink of foam lace. Aromas of citrus, peel and juice, with a different herbal feel. Almost waxy, but not offensive. Also felt in the taste, so maybe wax that would normally be found on the zest of citrus fruits. Hints of pineapples. Good enough dryness, yet juicy all-around. A nice herbal different Pale Ale.

500ml bottle from the brewery that pours a hazy golden colour with a big creamy-frothy warm head, good retention and thick creamy-foamy lacing. Small particles floating through it. Malty nose with hints of caramel and the citrus hops just above to cut the sweetness. The taste shows decent bitterness and citrus dryness in the finish. Biscuit malt backbone. An easy one to drink, but still has enough to give for an APA. Very good !

500ml bottle that pours a lightly hazy, light golden-yellow colour with a big fluffy-frothy white cap, very good stay and loads of thick foam patches. Banana nose at first with some fresh green apples that do come out with time. Refreshing, carbonated mineral water feel. Getting hazier by the pour. Mild taste of wheat giving banana notes, with the hops that give those apples ones. A nicely brewed light beer with enough to keep us happy.
