Bottle shared at Dan's 10K tasting. Thanks to Dave! It pours lightly hazy golden with a medium white head. The aroma is soft, fresh, green, juicy, oily, candied fruits, pine dust and a touch of spice. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy, chewy, toasty, green, grassy, weed, rather oily and a touch of pithy citrus. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Its not bad, but lacks a bit of punch.

Taste comprises jammy citric peel, melon, light pine needle, grassy, toasted malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with grassy come juicy hop bitterness. Decent enough clean drinking IPA.

Craft Angel. Dan's 10K boostfest. Thanks to Dave. Light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft malts, light creamy sweetness, touch of grain. Modest spice. Little orange peel. Light tangy finish. Not bad but not blowing my socks off.
