Pours a nice reddish amber colour with a slight foamy head. Very noticeable citra hop aroma with some sweet malts. Flavour is nicely balanced citrus hops and sweet fruit and malts. Very nice brew.

[4578-20120702] Tap. Mild citrus peel aroma. Clear, orange brown body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Creamy citrus hops flavour is muted with a light graininess. Medium body has just a little bitter bite. Quite tasty and certainly refreshing on a hot summer’s day. (7/4/7/4/16) 3.8

Smells fruity and full. Pours with thick head and long lasting, with some decent head lacing. Smells hoppy and almost fishy for some reason. A little citrus as well. Taste follows through on the citrus with lots of bitter ad even a rare touch of malt I dont see so much in Ipas. Good rounded taste and product. Hopefully i see this one again. On tap at the rhino.

Cask au C’est What. Un liquide orangé et passablement embrouillé. Une feuille de mousse. Des arômes maltés grillés sur des parfums de houblons fruités. Un goût sucré mais équilibré par un Citra amer et parfumé qui ne donne que des saveurs fruitées. Une bouche assez lourde avec un pétillement engourdi par le conditionnement. Une texture qui va de crémeuse à huileuse. Une finale de vin d’orge houblonné. Appréciable comme tout.

Deep amber pour with a tight white head. The aroma is lovely - soft citrusy bitterness with a touch of earthiness. Soft sweetness and a little bit of light bitterness. Full bodied with a little bit of light white pepper. Good balance and a solid brew. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On Tap at Gig’s: taps a reddish amber color, lightly hazed, 2 finger off white cap, medium carbonation. Aroma has the signature citrus notes from the citra hops, a bit of earthiness, sweet maltose notes, some fruit. Solid body, slick mouth feel, rounded character. Flavor profile starts with a big chew on caramalts which have good balance from the citrusy bitter hops, fruity tones, some white pepper notes, long increasingly bitter finish with a clean conclusion. A nice twist on the IPA style and a solid offering.

On tap at the Brewers Backyard. Pours a cloudy amber with small off-white head. Aroma is toasty wheat, light caramel and earthy, citric hops. Flavour has prominent toasty wheat, caramel and earthy/citric hops. Moderate bitterness in finish. Average plus body. Fine carbonation. Nice.

Gold amber pour medium white head. Strong hoppy citrus aroma, a little sweet earthy and skunky malt, overripe apples, wet grass. Oily full body. Slightly bitter throughout. Medium finish. Little but boozy but otherwise its not shy and a really enjoyable balanced brew.

Draught at Wvrst. Slightly hazy amber large frothy mottled off-white head. Aroma and taste like an ESB with less twigs and more slightly pungent bitterness - very little alcohol. Chewy, mild carb - easy to drink.

Appearance: Cloudy red, small but thick off white head. Aroma: quite mild, malty, a little hint of hops. Some wet cardboard. Flavour: quite subtle, malty yet a good amount of hoppiness. Long bitter finish.
