The Romans have a reputatio of being master craftsmen and we’ve follwoed that fine tradition, pouring our heart and soul - cor et anima - into every drop of our IPA. A quintet of Amarillo, Cascade, Citra, Columbus & Simcoe hops give an almighty punch of citrus with a crisp bitter finish.

Bottle from the Leopard, Doncaster. Oooh, look at you, York Brewery, getting all craft! Yellow/orange with a tiny suggestion of white head. Plentiful visible carbonation. Intense citrus aroma with more than a hint of ammonia. Not balanced but still nice to sniff. Taste is an improvement: bitter with a tart edge, slightly medicinal until the astringent finish. Not the best IPA you are likely to have but it’s well done and worth a try.

Bottle thanks to Ashton McCobb. Pours clear golden yellow with a thin white head. Strong floral citrus aroma. Taste is bitter, grapefruit, tongue-numbing bitter. Faint biscuit sweet at the back. Decent.
