A really smooth Ipa that hides its alcohol well. There's loads of pine and citrus with a hint of mintand a solid malt backbone.

(Can) Pours hazy amber with good white head. Lovely aroma - pine, grapefruit, lime. Edomite body, excellent carbonation. Taste starts with a good balance of tangy citrus and light biscuity malt. The hops rapidly come to the fore with a building bitterness which last a long time. Excellent very hoppy IPA.
