Can via Uber Eats delivery. Poured a orange with two finger off white head. Aroma is citrus hops. Taste is forward citrus and grapefruit balanced malt that leaves way to a grassy bitter finish.

Can from Kwoff, Bury, Gtr Manchester,, consumed at home, sat out in the garden, Thursday 6th April 2017 Pours hazy amber with a huge fluffy white head. A pretty robust bitterness, but there is a soft edge. A little bit of perfume, pine resinyness and floralness amongst the pithiness, it’s juicy and fruity and quite hard on the bitterness but it is very good. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

Can at home in London - sourced from Royal Mile Whiskies, Bloomsbury. Pours mostly clear orange-gold with a billowing, frothy off-white head. The nose holds grainy pale malts, ripe and lightly dried citrus fruits, some orange rind. Light to medium sweet flavour with lots of crackery pale malts, some pine needles, more rindy citrus, jammy orange, nips of lightly toasted caramel. Light to medium bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes with more crackers, dry pine, rindy bitterness. Well, I fear this one may have been sitting a bit too long. Not much vibrancy to it. Overall, just so so.

Can thanks to Alex from Fusion. Appearance - cloudy amber with a generous fluffy head. Nose - loads of grapefruit and grapes. Light malt at the back. Taste - tonnes of resin, grapefruit again and pith. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long and balanced finish. Overall - nice ipa. Not as bitter as I was expecting. Might’ve put this into American Pale Ale style.
