Thick, yellowish, very even head, fine lace; hazy orange beer. Immediate punch of citrussy, pink grapefruit hops. Hopoil just jumps out the glass - but serve this to somebody blindfolded as a new grapefruit drink, he’ll go along. Tangy, piney, turpentine-like hop - both taste, flavour and mouthfeel. Flavour of sweet yellow grapes, splashed over with the hopbitterbrush. Raisincookies. Mouthfeel is thé spot of difference with the W.C.-IPA’s; it’s much less packed with malts underneath. It could do with some more beef on the bones, but it’s not meagre for that. Long burning aftertaste at the tonguesides. It’s a great IPA. It just looses some points on mouthfeel - and on distinctiveness. From the few B.-E. beers I’ve had it’s the most unidimensional. More thanks to my generous Texan providers.
