Tap at CP&K. It pours hazy orange-amber with a thin foamy off-white head and low to moderate carbonation. The nose is resin, orange, mango and grapefruit. The taste is resin, wood, orange, mango, apricot, lemon, hay, bread and grass, with a long bitter-pine finish. There is some alcohol warmth towards the finish, but not that of a 9% beer. Medium bodied and oily mouth-feel. It’s nice to see a solid Eurpoean IIPA.
