L- Amber with two finger white head which dissipates into a thin layer that lasts to the bottom of the glass. Lots of carbonation, leaves lacing all the way to the bottom of the glass, good looking in the glass.
S- Fruity hop and citrus, smells fresh.
T- Good bitterness from the piney lemony hops which lingers on the palate (Nelson Sauvin?) Leaves an almost salty oily after taste, crisp and long. Can't detect much malt in this beer, it's all hops.
F- Good mouth feel, well carbonated.
O- Nice crisp refreshing beer with bitter hop taste which lingers on the palete.

330ml bottle poured into pint glass, 11/3/14 from notes
A clear copper with big bubbles feeding a short lived finger of beige foam that's gone after a few sips leaving a couple random patches
S a hint of spruce and citrus, some bread and caramel, almost smells like sprite, needs a hop injection, not very IPA'ish
T some earthy hops but even for an English IPA she's pretty tame, more malt then hops, again its not really an IPA to me
M medium bodied, some bitterness but not reaching IPA levels, good carbonation with a little orange marmalade on the finish
O its drinkable beer but I was looking for some hops, far behind the pack of Kiwi IPA's
nothing to really see here, needs some hops for sure and I'm already board and I have 5 more left to drink
