650mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle floral hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with crisp biscuity malt and floral hops. Crisp and lightly tart on the citrus. Meh.

Tasting at Erik's
Clean golden colour. The arom ais mild, light bready malts, light citrusy hops. Fairly dry, with mild bready malts flavour, some hop resins, but also some vegetable bitterness.
The malt base is decent, the chicory in the final is unpleasant.

Bottle from Legacy. Amber, thin head. On the nose there's kind of a heavier malt presence, and some biscuitiness, On the palate, it's definitely on the sweeter side, with a sort of a slight piney/orange hop note. I mean, I don't get poppyseed but to be honest I didn't think I would. Nothing wrong with it, but I don't necessarily find anything that I do.

Hazy light amber color. Resiny hops, a bit sugary aroma, light citrus. Caramelly flavor, toffee, a bit buttery, some citrus peel.
Not too bad, but a rough and old concept.

Light amber. Not much head. On the nose this is reaaallly chewy. When you're chewier than Red Racer IPA, you're starting to bend time, and not in a good way. It tastes better than it smells - still quite chewy and dated in that way, but with a lot of bitterness. No particular hop brightness. If they're aiming American, then I'd say it needs to be modernized. If aiming "English", well that starts with the yeast.

Tall can at Matt's. Pours a hazy deep golden with a white head. Aroma is caramely and candied citruses. Similar taste. Good old school IPA.
