Bottle from Luvians Bottle Shop, St. Andrews
Very dark brown, ruby edges on glass, off white frothy tan head, good lacing
Aroma Citrus grapefruit, soft fruits - light orange, slight resin, background of soft roasted malt...quite light aroma
Taste Lots of grassy hops, citrus hops, bitter bit sour grapefruit, bitter lemon zest, some bitter deep roasted malts, soft espresso coffee, some burnt notes, seems lower than 7.4%
Palate Medium carb, medium body, zesty tangy palate. Finish of bitter darkroast and grassy hops, touch of pine with some citrus bitter zest. More of the bitter roast and bitterness of the hops comes through in the finish with a very slight saltiness in the linger.
Overall - More emphasis on bitter hops and roast in the BIPA than rich dark malts and fruits. I prefer more fruitiness and rich dark malts. Not the best BIPA for me, but it’s still pretty good - shows what a range of flavours is possible in this style

Cask at PSBH, 17th April 2012. Good aroma, nice palate, taste is some hops and pine, but you get a lot of malt, good one and easy drinking
