Radical Road is a hop-forward West Coast IPA, medium-bodied and packed with classic American hop character. Expect waves of bittersweet orange, tangy grapefruit, and resinous pine, all carried by a crisp bitterness and a satisfyingly dry finish.

Brewed with a punchy blend of Simcoe, Cascade, Columbus, and Centennial hops, this multi-award-winning IPA delivers everything you want from a true West Coast-style IPA, bright, bold, and refreshingly bitter.

330ml bottle: BB 7th Nov 2020, obtained from a local Dobbies Garden Centre. Drank at home on 4th Jun 2020 during the virus Lock In. Almost orange in colour, white head. Nice aroma and taste, blend of sweet maltiness and bittering hops. Toffee and citrus esters/flavours combine well with the hops just about winning the overall senses battle.

Bottle from Lidl Supermarket, Sowerby Bridge. Deeper golden with a very thin head, with its hopped character also deep and dense tasting. It's slightly dry but its fruitiness is a more notable.

Bottle from Lidl, Borehamwood. Golden with a small head. Has a very recognisable pale ale texture, but its strength is also very evident within this. It still maintains a good hoppy fruitiness though.

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 26th January 2020. Gold with shallow foam and initial lacing. Citrus and grassy hops amid earthy pungency in aroma. Zesty peel and tropical fruits in-mouth with plenty of malts. A caramel finish with hints of peach and citrus. Rather sweet, yet quaffable. Smooth slightly oily texture on a light to medium body.

Can. Very clear amber with a modest off white head. 3+ Aroma of kumquat marmalade - juicy, a bit stinky, a bit caramelised - bread crust, pine needles. Rich bread crust and toffee with oozing citrus and a long piney bitter finish. Good, substantial.

33cl can from Horsham in UK, many thanks to my wife's couisin Betka. Big, tan good retention head. Amber light hazy colour. Aroma is orange, tangerine, mellow tropical fruits, caramel. Taste is rich malty base, mellow orange and grapefruits, sweet tropical fruits, caramel, biscuits, medium carbonation, taste is better than aroma, nice hoppy if bit more on the sweet side, good, enjoyed.
