Draft at the jolly. Pours a crystal clear medium amber with a loose and sudsy white head. Big fresh pine and grapefruit nose. Creamy medium body with lively carb. Toasty sweet light mid palate with a sharp and bracing pine resin finish. Goes from nice wet malty caramel to a helmet slap of resin quickly. Not as volcanic as the bigger ipas by any means, but impressive for its body to flavor ratio and its crispness.

Draught. Poured red orange with medium head. Hoppy aroma on a roast spine. Malty flavour with an oaky and hoppy edge. Rather hoppier than a pale and not so hoppy as an IPA. Lekker hop finish.

sample @ cask fest - clear and copper; lots of hops in the aromas, but also some sweetness; texture is very grainy and thin; flavor on the bland side and slightly sweet

Tap at Brouwers. Dark gold. Floral and citrus aroma. A little buttery too. The flavor is the same. CItrus with light sweet butter. Bitter hoppy finish. I liked this APA. More bitter than most.

Cloudy amber with lasting white head. Crisp hop nose. Balanced fore and mid taste. Long strong hop finish. Great lace

sampled at WBGC Festival. hazy golden with thin white bubbled head. huge hop, skunky aroma. reifer. very good. sour malts, big dry hops.
