Fruity citrus grapefruit aroma. One finger head. Soft amber color with a faint haziness. Hoppy bitterness which is offset by a nice sweetness. Dry finish. A pleasant bitterness and sourness in the middle that fades. Zesty at the start but then smooths to the finish. I’m impressed. Very drinkable and refreshing.

malty wheat sweet aroma with some citrus, hazy golden color, good malty taste with some wheat, citrus hoppy and a dry finish slightly less bitter than i prefer but a really good beer

Smell on this beer is fantastic. Fruity. Citrus, lemon, and grapefruit. A slight amount of spice and a nice wheaty background. Taste is much more the same. I did pick up more of the grapefruit taste followed by the lemon and then the citrus. The wheat comes through really nice mixed in with a nice bready malt character. While the beer is a nice hoppy brew, the malt comes through nicely to really balance nicely. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, nicely carbonated, crisp, and smooth.

Aight, floral hops and hay grass flavors with a bit of an earthy componant. Quite hoppy but not the hop flavors I like. Almost potporri and flowers with light citrus.

aquired in a trade with schuf on the other site, as an extra I guess. bottle poured into a snifter. glowing golden hue capped by a 1/2" white head with fair retention. nose is complex and inviting with caramel backed by pine and citrus. Bitterness is cutting but quickly washed away with cracker and caramel sweetness. Slick, but medium bodied. Yum!

Malt forward, florally ipa. Sweetish body and bittering finish. Chips are better than green beans for a snack.

Keg at Brewdog Camden. Pale blond and slightly cloudy with a big white bubbly head. Aroma is lemon and lime, bit of pine hops. Taste is hoppy with plenty of citrus fruitiness, but not too much. Nice malty finish. Really very drinkable. Could have had this all night. Lovely.

Bottle at home. (7.5% vol.) Pours a clear golden with an off white head and lacings. Sweet with a light dryness and lots of sugary hops aromas. Nice fruity hops notes with tiny hints of resin. Tiny bready hits. Medium bodied. Medium carbonation. Sweet and dry finish with more hops. Good.
