Bottle from Geers. Best before: 16/4/20; just a couple of months old. Pours clear golden with a thin, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of dank mandarin, pineapple, apricot, pomelo, spring onion, honey. Taste has sweetish mandarin, pomelo & mango, bitter grapefruit peel, some pine & spruce with a dank edge; faintly zesty sour. Dry, floral hoppy finish, lots of dank citrus fruit lingering next to bitter pine & grapefruit. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Not overly malty for a DIPA, just plain strong hop bitterness.
