Very cloudy pale straw. Some head as poured, with good retention and lacing. Zesty, clove, citrus hop aroma. Juicy citrus taste, drier zestier after with a hint of cardamom/spice. Cold. Sharp effervescence. More a Zesty Pale Ale, or even a Euro Lager, than an IPA?

Active open. Hazy to cloudy gold, clearing slightly. Extremely large head on first pour, dispersing, decent amount of retention but no lacing. Sour, slightly stale, tangy citrus aroma. Fresh, if not particularly strong, blood orange zest taste, similar after, pithier and developing ?grapefruit? tartness.
