Sampled from bottle. Hazy dark orange to reddish color, small off-white head. Smell and taste are malts, loads of hops, very fruity, nicely bitter, lightly resinous and some tropical fruits like pineapple. Medium body and carbonation. Very nice indeed.

Draft @ the brewery. Pours a slightly hazy pale amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity dry hoppy citrus aroma. Fruity malty citrus hoppy flavor. Has a sweetish malty hoppy bitter citrus finish.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at the brewery. Pours deep ruby with a thick, creamy tan head. Lots of pine in the aroma, some lightly toasted bread, dried orange. Medium sweet flavor with heavy, juicy berries, more toasted bread, some grapefruit, sticky toasted sugars, hints of caramel, oily pine. Medium bodied with average, velvety carbonation. Finishes sweet with plenty more juicy, oily pine, more ripe citrus, some grassy bitterness, sugary bread, slight minerals, mellow alcohol warmth. A bit darker than I prefer my IPAs but this one does together pretty well. Quite drinkable for its strength.

Hazy deep amber beer, big pale cream coloured head. Palate is softish and airy with fine carbonation. Has the same creamy malt sweetness of the Dapper. Light sweetish orange fruits leads to a fair amount of bitterness. Finishes smooth. Not bad, but whereas the malt worked great in the Dapper, here it is masking the fairly recessed fruitiness of the US hops.

At the brewery. It pours cloudy amber with a small beige head. The nose is caramel, pine, earth, citrus peel and sherbet. The taste is toasty, brown bread, earth, spice, decent bitterness, pine and a metallic twang with a dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Alright stuff.

Bottle picked up from the brewery. £3.50 is pretty steep for buying at the brewery, especially considering the likes of kernel and Partizan are £2.50. Aroma is sweet toffee, soft mineral and berry hedgerow hops.I don’t get much american hop underneath all that caramel malt. Clear rich red amber colour with a lasting beige head. Quite attractive. Flavour is caramel, toffee malt, solid piney hop with a slight lemony finish. Alxohol is quite present, bit of an alcohol bite in the finish. Some mixed fruits in the mid palate. Palate is quite sweet, rounded medium body and average carbonation. Overall too much cara malt gets in the way of the hops.

Bottle from the brewery and drunk at home the following day. Hazy dark amber colour with a thick lasting beige head. American hop aroma. It’s a decent American style IPA. Little bit of toffee. A touch of diacetyl maybe. Decent mouthfeel. Some bitterness on the finish. OK, but needs work. Oh and the diacetyl needs to fade as well.
