ABV: 6.5% IBU: 50 Ticks: 201
A powerful and hoppy IPA that uses a blend of American hops, giving the beer a fresh citrus and grapefruit punch. Contains barley malt.

Taste: Initially pink grapefruit juice will wash over your tongue, with a zing of lively carbonation that follows you all the way down. Lime zest and even a hint of peppercorn can be found if left on the tongue, before the massive mango kick knocks through your teeth.

Keg. Leeds International Beer Festival. Clear, light amber. Thin, sticky, white head. Nicely pungent, green, skunky hop. Light malts. Taste is fresh, punchy bitter. No sweetness at all. Clean palate. Pithy grapefruit, bitter finish. Good, punchy IPA.

Clear orange color with small white head. Aroma is citrus, grapefruit, pine, some tropical fruits. Very nice aroma. Taste is quite bitter and piney, a bit of a residual sweetness as well, great refreshing stuff. Crisp carbonation.

Pours a fairly clear orangey golden color, topped with a rather small off-white head. Nice and distinct fruity aroma - sweet tropical fruits like mango. Taste is characterized by a quite decent hoppy bitterness from the start to finish. Short lived bitter herbs in the aftertaste. Nice, hoppy, bitter.

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared by Joes. Hazy orange color small white to off-white head. Smell and taste malts, hops, fruity, decently bitter. Not bad. [Original rating: 7-3-7-3-15] -- Short re-rate August 11th 2015: much better than the first time I tried it. Good fresh fruity hops and a nice bitterness. Solid IPA. Nice!
