Panda thanks to Cloin. A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, modest fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a light creamy sweetness, slightly ripe tasting. Light cooling pine into juicy ripe citrus, a little candy fruits. Light and semi dry finish. Inoffensive but not grabbing me on any level.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head that doesn't last. Smooth palate, a little soft, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft creamy sweet malts, taste a little ripe but no milky or caramel flavours creeping in. Mild pine into rich ripe citrus and stone fruits, ripe grape and a little lime. Light and semi dry finish. Quite flavoursome and certainly not unpleasant but, perhaps a bit stodgy and ripe in both the malt and hop aspects of this brew.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Just a light haze on this orange gold beer, very short and short lived pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a nice mellow creamy sweetness and, smoke! Huh? It's just a very light touch of smoke but, for me shouldn't be here. Hops bring soft pine and pleasant juicy semi ripe citrus and stone fruits. Airy semi dry finish. A good dipa overall..

Panda thanks to Cloin. A long time since I have had a Durham brew! Near clear gold beer, small bubbly off white head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Buttery oaky tinged light malts, a thin creamy sweetness and a whisper of oak induced vanilla. Nice brandy soaked ripe fruits, touch of unsweet marmalade. Light finish. The barrelling has kinda overwhelmed the base tripel, not sure anyone would care. Nice brandy barrel brew!

Panda thanks to Cloin. Just a mild haze on this slightly yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied pale malts bring adequate creamy sweetness for the hop profile laid down here. Light pine, HBC1019 screams its unhinged presence immediately, light coconut and lime tinged pineapple. Touches of candy fruits and stone fruits. Light and semi dry finish. A bright and hop fruity masterpiece!

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear gold beer, very small and very short lived off white head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied pale blue, sweet enough. Light smooth pine into a fairly sweet hop fruits profile. Lots of juicy candy fruits, a little bright citrus, sweet pink grapefruit! A light and semi dry finish. Not sure this West Coast apa is supposed to be this sweet? Amused me nonetheless.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear gold beer, small bubbly off white head. Light palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crisp snap. Thin bodied pale malts but, sweet enough. Bright crisp pine hop intro. Light bright hop fruits, a good smorgasbord of citrus, stone fruits and tropical fruits. A candy fruits vibe coming through strongly on the close. Nice bright juicy IPA.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this slightly darkish gold beer, very thin bubbly pale cream colour head. Hop skunk prominent on the snout. Airy smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Airy pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Hop skunk follows the nose and dominates the flavour profile, a kind of rubbery skunk. On the backend we get some good juicy marmalade, mandarin and tangerine hop fruits. Pinch of hop spice on the light and semi dry finish. A bit too green hop for my tastes, the hop fruits are good, for me, just needs a better balance between the two aspects.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly white head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. The light bodied pale malts are sweet, milky sweet and not in a good way. Light pine, ripe orange and a touch of grape before a semi dry finish. Hard to get past the milky sweetness, pretty off-putting.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this amber beer, a few whitish bubbles never form a head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied malts, sweet enough but also exhibiting some grain. The eclectic choice of hops deliver crisp pine, ripe and juicy fruits, touch of lime in there. Mild and floral tropical fruit vibe underneath. A surprising hop spice nip on the semi dry crisp finish. A tasty and hoppy brew and it goes down just fine. Some refinements would make this a very good beer indeed.
