An American-style IPA brewed with 100% Irish malt. Pine and citrusy grapefruit are balanced by a full, malt backbone. Very pale with a slight hop haze from high levels of dry hopping. Fruity aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit and orange. The flavour is equally fruity, with a soft mouthfeel and a balanced finish.

On tap at BeerMerchants Tap Hackney. Clear gold colour lasting white head. Some sweaty sox on aroma. So I am guessing some Nelson Sauvin or down under hops. Calms down a bit. Tropical fruit flavours sweet pineapple and passion fruit. It's fine. Gets better.

All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di luppolo. L'olfatto viene sollecitato in maniera elevata e la maniera in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma cremosa e che rimane a lungo nel bicchiere. La grandezza delle bollicine è media. Il liquido è aspetto cristallino. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono la forma del perlage. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è decisamente amaro. L'intensità gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevolissimo. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sulla lingua si attestano impressioni di frutta secca, luppolo, resina, agrumi e pompelmo.
