Flipside is an easy-drinking IPA with the perfect balance between hops and malt. It features just enough smooth and slightly sweet malt body to support huge citrusy and tropical fruit-forward hop flavors from Simcoe, Citra, and Centennial hops.

clear amber colour, 1.5 inches of yellowish off white head, which lasts for several minutes; aroma and taste of resiny-citrussy hops and caramel-toast maltyness as well as some passion fruit; excellent red IPA

0.355l bottle. Clear dark amber body, off-white head. Nice caramelly aroma with pine, grass and citruses. The taste also has a caramelly base with some toast, pine and citruses. For my taste it’s too bitter. The finish is like if you were chewing on the raw hop cones. It’s a good beer, but to be honest I expected more from SN.

12oz bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. A reddish chestnur pour with tight cream head that leaves attractive lacing on the glass; some tropical fruit on the nose, but also some birch and spruce; the piney hops seem to dominate the taste, although there are some sweet, fruity malts hidden underneath. An assertive IPA.

Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, fruitiness, caramel, grass and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. A decent hoppy malty ale

Bottle from Cork and Cask. Appearance - deep amber with a big fluffy head. Nose - pine and biscuits. Taste - grapefruit and biscuits. Palate - close to medium bodied with a crunchy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - very bitter but just within the limits of not being too bitter.
