US Pint can (473ml) from Beer52: BB 2nd Sep 2021. Drank at home on 15th Nov 2020. Hazy orange pour, thin white covering on top, does stay though. Citrus and piney aroma/taste, really enjoyed it; uncomplicated and simple, a very drinkable DIPA.

Tight foamed head stayed on a hazy bright amber coloured still body. Malt & sweet Tropical aroma. Medium bodied, sharp with a smoother clean back. Malt, pine, resin, grapefruit & over ripe stone fruit tastes. Outstanding!

440ml can via Beer52. Pours a muddy orange, small white head which leaves minor retention. Big aroma of orange juice and resin. Malts and oats are detectible in the background. Taste is orange juice, zest, hint of alcohol and a strong bitterness in the finish. Simple but nice. Body is moderate, quite smooth with a soft carbonation; very nice. Enjoyable.

Pint can thanks to hershiser2, 9/29/20. Hazy orange, large foamy white head, good retention. Some particles. Aroma of pineapple, citrus, pale malt. Taste is mango, orange, pineapple, pale malt. Medium bodied, juicy, low bitterness. Needs a little work but the start of the good beer.
