True to its name. Cascade, Centennial, Crystal and Simcoe create a citrusy hop confluence that continuously embiggens with each drink. The embodiment of our brewing philosophy to “Never Give An Inch”.

Bomber between 5 at the April 2016 Shrewsbury Beer Exchange meeting. Hop centric but not overly bitter. Slight haze to the amber coloured body: thin white head. Fruity nature with a piney feel too. Liked it: cheers Paulo for bringing it.

Flaska från SB. Nästan ett år gammal. Lätt disig, orangebrun vätska med en krämig skum puck. Humlen är ju inte särskilt pigg längre men kroppen är så välgjord och smakerna rena, mjuka och välbalanserade att det ändå är riktigt gott. Mjuka fina smaker av kolakakor möter en lika mjuk citrusmarmelad, granskott, persika, aprikos och mango. Riktig trevlig.

650ml bottle. Cloudy, orangey, deep golden to amber colour with small to average, thick, creamy, fairly lasting and lacing, white head. Nuttily, pale malty aroma with piney hoppy overtones, minimally sweaty, resinous notes, surpressed citrusy notes of lemon and grapefruit. Taste is pale malty with hints of almond and nuts, piney hoppy overtones with a papery touch, citrusy hints of lemon and grapefruit, sugary interludes. Sadly not the freshest example, nevertheless somehow or other with DIPA punch and characteristics, very robust malty backbone, intense and concentrated hop flavours. Massive if not "Gigantic".

Bottle from Oddbins Beer Shop, Blackheath. Amber pour (light haze) with a white head. Tangerine, apricot and vanilla aroma. Bitter fruit action in the flavour. Bitter fruit finish. Well rounded brew. Very nice.

Bottle from Cornelius. Hazy amber body with a thick off-white head. Low carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of red apple, toffee, peach and biscuit. Flavour of caramel, pine, stewed tea and orange. Light peppery spice on the finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A classic American IPA. Lovely beer.

Not bad. Oxidised but a good hop combo.

Bomber. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Just about clear, gingery gold. Film and some bubbles of white head. Nose has strawberry and lime. Spicy biscuit malts. Some peach. Baked apple. Taste is malty sweet. Turns fruity, chewy, zesty bitter. Bright, clean palate. Bit of oiliness. Long, fruity, resinous bitter finish. A grower. Great stuff.

Bottled, from Systembolaget. Hazy golden, small head. Generous citric nose with tangerine and lychee. Dryish with medium body and rounded, spritzy mouthfeel. Citric tangerine dominates, lightly minerally. Long bitter finish.
