Intense greens of fresh hops bursting with fruitiness filled his senses. Rich yellows and golds of malted barley adding subtle sweet tones to the vibrant coloured show. The setting sun started to turn red and, as its light subsided, he was filled with a mellow bitterness and the blues of wanting more.

330ml bottle. Cloudy amber colour with average, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Citrusy and piney, hoppy aroma, notes of grapefruit and lemon, hints of orange and pineapple, caramel malty background. Taste is moderately bitter, citrusy hoppy, notes of grapefruit and lemon, a minimally chalky touch, caramel malty basis. Kaleidoscopic as an IPA should be.

Bottle from Eebria consumed at home Friday 15th December 2015 Hazy gold, really hazy with a white head atop. Thick in the mouth, on the sweet side of bittersweet but the fresh green hops come through. Like the Centennial Pale Ale this is a bit soapy at times, nowhere near as much as the Centennial but still a bit soapy. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Cask-conditioned at the Lime Kiln, Bristol 11/9/2015. Slightly hazy amber with a decent, off-white, head. Big aroma of tropical fruits, pine and grassy hops. Sweetish flavours of pineapple and tangerine, biscuity malts and green herbs, leading to a dry, boozy, finish. Enjoyable.
