Sampled at Borefts Beer Festival 2019, day 1. Clear bright orangy color, average to medium sized white head. Aroma is malts, hops, lightly resinous. Flavor is malts, a bit sweet and somewhat bitter, more malty than I had hoped and the resinous hops are there but less dominant than I had hoped. Hmm ok, had higher hopes.

27/IX/19 - on tap @ Borefts Day 1, BB: n/a - (2019-1487) Thanks to the international RateBeer Crew for sharing today's beers!
Clear orange beer, small creamy off-white head, unstable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: sweetish, malty, caramel notes, sugary, bit fruity, bit oxidized, some floral notes. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet start, pretty soapy, alcohol, nice bitterness, bit oxidized. Aftertaste: oxidized, caramel malts, soft bitterness, some orange peel, nice but too old. Is this even fresh beer???

More of a classic, west coast DIPA. Big malty backbone to support a lot of hops. Sweet malts, lots of citrussy hops, grapefruit peel, orange, bit of mango, resin. Fairly bitter. Well made, classic, no faults, just not my style.
