We wanted to create a light, crisp, punchy, go to beer! A beer that you know you can pick up and appreciate or simply kick back, relax and oil your neck with (the name Neck Oil come’s from our founder, Logan, fondly remembering his Grandad stating that he was “off down the pub for a pint of neck oil”). Extra pale base malts are used to keep it crisp and give the hops a great platform to dance on. Masses of hop additions during the whirlpool and a huge dose of dry hops make this a brilliantly ‘easy’ IPA.

This is a decent but fairly meh session ipa. There’s citrus. Moderate bitterness at most. Easy drinking.

Old rating from 2019 - A 330ml can, 4.3 ABV at Kismet Cabana beach club, Ouaisne, Jersey. A beer I've tried a few times either on draft or in can. Happy to see it been served tonight. A very enjoyable session IPA with fruits.

Had a few of this every no and then, a really fine thirst quencher normally easy in reach in my local grocery shop. Just realized I had never rated it, so I picked one from my fridge to do the drill. Realizing this was ten month after bottling date and still tasting as fresh as I remember them, just have to mention as this is not usually for this kind of lightweight beers. Anyway, unclear pale golden/yellow body with a huge white head. Wonderful, super refreshing aroma of grapefruit and tropical fruit with a zesty hint. Flavor is light and easy, not much malt, grapefruit, tropical fruit, orange zest and grassy bitterness. Medium to light body, as must be considered well balanced in this case. Refreshing aftertaste as well. Nothing complex going on, just a super refreshing thirst quencher and perfect summer beer. A favorite in this range by me.

From tap at Delirium Hoppy Loft, Brussels. Aroma of fruits, citrus, tropical fruits, pineapple, grassy hops. Flavour is moderate bitter. Body is light to medium. The flavour can’t quite match the deliciously fruity aroma. Still, very refreshing session IPA.

Can from a London supermarket, drunk after learning the F&$@ chord (and maybe as a result of it). Light gold, small head, mild nose of dank pine and light citrusy caramel. The body is quite decent for a session beer, thin but not watery. Mild flavor and bitterness doesn't overwhelm the taste buds and it's pretty well balanced.
