Can from Beer Republic. Smooth and fruity with orange, soft pale malt, tropical notes, some mango. Moderate bitter with some sweetness as well. Medium body. Not the most outspoken, easy and gentle IPA.

More orange than gold with a foamy, white head. Aroma promises oranges and honey melon. Taste is bitter with a moderate citric nuance. Sweet fruit-candy-like undertones. Medium bodied, mild chewiness, faint watery touches. Finishes with a sharp, citric bitterness. Nice balance. Good one!
