Draught @ SNIPA Day on Bishops Arms Park Avenue. Pours very hazy pale golden with a frothy white head that slowly dissipates while leaving a small trace on the glass. Smell is very fruity and tiny herbal with crackers, peaches, passionfruit, gooseberries, pink grapefruit juice, freshly cut grass, pine needles, papaya, mango, lemon balm, dried flowers and hints of oily garlic and leek. Taste is bitter, fruity and herbal with crackers, freshly cut grass, pine needles, grapefruit juice, peaches, passionfruit, leek, mango, papaya, lemon balm, dill, soil, grapefruit rinds, lemon zest, black currant leaves and subtle hints of metal. Mouthfeel is dry, soft, tiny round, astringent and light to medium bodied. Finish is bitter an herbal with crackers, unripe tropical fruits, freshly cut grass, lemon balm, gooseberries, leek, black currant leaves and hints of resinous wood and metal. It’s very very tasty but there are some leek, garlic and metal elements that takes it away from the top IPAs.
