Poured to an Ora et Labora taster. Drank on the 24th of September. Canned in the 9th of July.

A: Body is orange matte with some good white 5mm thick head that exists mostly to the sides of the glass.
S: The use of Motueka makes this beer a lightly citric and fruity beer, being more prominent on the green and earthy aromas.
T: The taste starts off with a bit of tangerine, heading to grapefruit and passionfruit. After this, you get a very long taste of resinous and grassy tones until it fades away on mouth.
M: Body is medium. It's overly carbonated though velvety. Alcohol is unnoticed. Bitterness is medium to high.
O: Still an interesting DIPA from The Veil, but nothing like their best ones.

Poured a golden-yellow body with solid one-finger head and lace ring. Classic, bitter, acidic orange-like hop aroma. Smooth, clean, mild, acidic, light tropical sweetness with an underlying bitterness and clean finish.

Hazy yellow color with white head. Aroma has lemon candy and grassy hops. Taste is astringent, spicy, prickles your tongue, lemony, grassy, slightly bitter on the finish but feels a bit harsh. Medium plus body with medium carbonation.

Hazy golden, big white head and tons of lacing. Aromas of fruit salad and citrus. Notes of mineral water, pineapple, tangerine and orange marmalade. Medium body, clean, lower carbonation and very drinkable. Very nice juicy IPA.
