ABV: 4.5% IBU: - Ticks: 19
A super drinkable Vermont inspired SESSION IPA. One of the first UK beers that explored what has become known as NEIPA.

Lower perceived hop bitterness, higher levels of chloride (in the brewing liquor), bags of oats and an altered dry hopping schedule combine to create a soft mouthfeel, juicy hop flavour/aroma and an attractive hazy appearance.

A dangerously drinkable, low ABV interpretation of the NEIPA style.

Tap at the Bier Haus, Brighton. Without a doubt the best session IPA i have drunk. It is absolutely divine. It has the perfect balance of the hops,the bitterness, the smoothness. Delightful refreshing beer. ---- Re/rated at Bottle Grove Eastbourne. A delightful beer with a strong sting in the tail for a low abv beer. LOVE IT. 4.3 to 4.2. --- Rerated at The West Tap, Brighton. A well hopped, fresh and spicy pine tatse. Nice in the warm sun. A little.bit too sickly bitter tho..4.2 to 3.8

Can from the Beer Hive. Pours hazy golden with a thin white head. Not the murk-bomb I was expecting. Lots of citrus on the nose though. Pine and orange juice taste. More bitter than I thought it would be too.

330ml can from beermerchants.com. Pours a hazy yellow, frothy white head. Aroma of citrus lemon. Taste is pale malts, sharp bitterness. Not getting much in the way of Vermont yeast, or hops for that matter. Passable pale.
