Clear golden colour, medium sized creamy white head; aroma and taste of peach or apricot, mango, sloght grapeseeds and maltyness; not a hop bomb but still enjoyable

Bottle. Hazy gold with quite a bit of head. Quite a lot of carbonation too. Nice looking beer. Aroma is very sweet and malty. Very delicate and rather peculiar. Caramel and syrup aromas also present. No hops at all to be detected... Aroma isn?t bad but very weird for an IPA. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, flavour is quite bitter and the hops is grassy and floral. Finishes grassy, dry and malty.

330ml bottle (bottle conditioned): BBD Sep 15, poured into a ’Good People’ (Birmingham, Alamabama) badged pint sleeve, to make it feel like a true American Pale Ale, at home on 31 Oct 14. This beer was shared with no one. Lager like in looks in the body, clear golden with carbonation bubbles rising to a full, deep white blanket of foam. Nose and taste are hop sentric, with a bitterness from the start. Can not say it erupts like a volcano, but it certainly has a hop kick throughout and whatever malt content there is has been melted by the hop lava. I liked it, my sweet tooth aside, it floated my boat.

Very hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is dry and crisp. Very dry malt, slightly dusty. Pithy orange hops, touch of marmalade. Very dry finish. Too dry by far!
