From the Total Wine in Albuquerque. Gold with a frothy, white head. Not much of an aroma for an IPA, vaguely fruity. Taste is moderate bitter the whole way through. Medium to light-bodied, watery texture. Nondescript. Below average.

Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2019 - London. Pours clear orange-gold with a small, creamy white topping. A little bland, with notes of vague citrus, bready pale malts, low bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation; alright condition. Simple finish, decent balance, more pale malts and citrus accents. OK.

GBBF, 7th Aug 2019, cask! Mini-haze to the golden body, wispy white top. The Bavarian Madarina Hops give the beer an orange like aroma and taste.
