look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 12th September 2018. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.

Appearance: A hazy golden orange colour with a big three finger white head that had good retention and left lots of nice lacing.

Aroma: Pineapple, candied citrus zest, mandarin, pine and lightly floral.

Taste: Lightly bitter, grapefruit, lime, pine, grass and sweet malt.

Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

Overall: This was ok. I especially loved the aroma with that clear sweet pineapple coming through, and wished it translated into the taste as well, but instead the lime surprised me a bit and just didn’t quite match the aroma.

L - Clear golden colour with a small head.

S - candied citrus, pine needles, orange blossom, elderflower, caramelized malt

T - nice balance with wheat notes, citrus and flowers. Quite fine. Light pine bitterness

M - Fine carbonation, smooth

O - Maybe their best one to date. Nice to see a DDH ipa which is not a hazy one
