On tap at Kingston Ale House. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has citrus rind and pine with a hint of resin and light grain backing. Flavor has a nice pine with some growing citrus rind supported by sweet grains and grass underlying.

Dark brown colour, harmonious aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Smooth mouthfeel, the roastiness is prominent and sharp, but with elegance; gentle fruit.
Very good.

Tap @ DC Kanda. Pours hazy orange, white foam on the top. Nose is quite fruity, basically what you would expect from a hazy one. Fruity, light chalk, tropical. Taste is relatively malt-forward, was expecting something a bit different. Not bad but not really great either.

frothy white head. Nice dank tropical and citrus notes. Low carbonation, medium low bitterness but it’s a bit more tart than I would expect. Hops don’t shine as much in the mouth as I might expect. Kinda ok, but a bit of a let down for bale breaker.
