650 ml Project X bottle from brewery. Pours a nearly clear golden colour with modest ever-so-slightly off-white head. Aroma is big citric hops with relatively modest pale malts. Flavour follows - lots of grapefuit, lemon and orange. Decent bitterness in finish. Impressive IPA.

Cask at Volo IPA Challenge. Pours a cloudy orange with a long-lasting bubbly white head. Lovely citra hops aroma, a bit catty and resiny as well, along with some citrus fruit. Flavour of citrusy, resiny hops, some citrus fruit and malt in the background -- fruity and hoppy, tasty stuff. Average to medium bodied. Very good stuff.
3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Great Lakes Anniversary BBQ. Pours a clear orange colour with a little head that seems to persist. Smells really nice, some malty sweetness and some really nice citrus, maybe orange? Palate is a bit watery but still seems to have medium body. Taste is worse than the smell, goes straight to hoppy and doesn’t go back. Aftertaste is all grapefruit. Decently refreshing but lacking in complexity.
