Can shared courtesy of Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a clear reddish amber with a thin whispy white head. The aroma is big resinous hop, sweet malt. The flavour is moderate bitter with a crisp, grainy malt, light metallic hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

700th! Can from Brewcraft at home. Slightly translucent bright orange amber pour. Aroma is really juicy pineapple orange with pine. Taste follows - pine and citrus bitterness with rich malty booze. Great IPA - would definitely get again.

On tap at Vultures Lane. Aroma is hops, but nothing particularly strong. Flavour is crisp bitter hops with some fruitiness. Quite refreshing, but nothing special.

From a 355ml can on 28/9/2016. Pours a fairly clear deep golden with a medium white head. Has nice fruit dominated aroma lots of lychee, melon, pineapple and pear. In the mouth, there’s some light caramel, followed b a barrage of sweet stone and tropical fruit, which is countered by some relatively firm, lingering grapefruity hops. The body is fullish and the carbonation average. Quite obviously the little brother o the IIPA and really well put together. Not at all US in style but is very tasty, distinctive and has lovely balance.

355ml can into tulip. Nose has grapefruit, lemon zest and green green grass. Slightly hazy Les Paul sunburst colour, steady fine carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel, bitter lemon at first taste. Long finish with pine needles and aspirin. There is a touch of malt lurking in the background to balance the bitter fruity succulence. Amazingly easy drinking, another winner from these guys.
