Tap @ Mikkeller. Aroma is very pungent and orange forward. Very fresh tangerine hoppiness, grapefruit notes. I love the hop profile on this. Taste is pretty much the same, very pungently hoppy, notes of tangerine, orange, citrus. Not very bitter and pleasant, but could use a bit more bitterness in order to be perfect. But this is the real IPA deal.

A - Pours a clear golden-orange color with a finger of frothy white head. The head fades down slowly leaving behind some good lace. S - Aroma is a mix of pine and citrus hop with some sweet caramel malt in the background. T - Starts off with some pine hop with some sweet caramel malts and bitterness. Through the middle some citrus and tropical hops come through with some more bitterness. The finish is a mix pine and citrus hops with some bitterness and a bit of sweet caramel malt. M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Feels smooth with a bitter and dry finish. D - Very drinkable. Good hop profile and bitterness with just enough malt to provide some balance.

Draught @ Triple Rock. Hops, hops, hops. Citrus, florals, pine. Bitter in an almost west coast sense. Thin.

Great IPA. Floral and citrous aromas and very hoppy. On tap at the brewery.

on tap at the brewery. Very nice beer! Aroma is floral hoppiness. Flavor is bitter, but balanced with malt. Great!

On tap at Craft Beer. Hazy gold beer, tiny white head. Softish palate with fine carbonation. In a creamy malt canvas there is really really nice tropical fruit. Sweet mango, guava, peach and orange with grapefruit marmalade addind a modicum of bitterness near the finish. Very very nice indeed and as the description says - I had to have another!

Draught@Cask Pub And Kitchen, London. Amber, slightly hazy colour with a small white head that leaves some lace. Arooma is caramel, some hops and mild sweet maltyness. Flavour is quite strongly grassy, fruity and floral hops with some mild honey as well as some nectary notes. Pleasantly balanced.
