Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of lemons, hops, straw, and fruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of exotic fruits, hops, straw, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Tap at 100 piv. Quite your classic IPA. No surprises here. Med-high bitterness, moderate resiny zesty citrusy hops character, moderate body to support it all, with light honeyish maltiness present. Easy drinking, good one.

Taster from tap at Lajbah, Ljubljana. Hazy golden, small off-white head. Moderately hoppy, citrusy, fruity, some malts. Floral emerges, nice, almost perfumy. Moderate to high bitterness, very serious. Hoppy flavour profile. Sharp, but that is what is wanted. Medium body, still drinkable. Lingering finish. Although not complex, it is a proper example of an IPA that the society needs.

From a 440ml can on 14/1/2019. Pours a slightly hazy light golden with a small head. Has quite a pungent fruity nose. Taste wise, you get bread and biscuit malt, some honey, lots of peach and pineapple, followed by a very solid, almost tart hop kick. Full bodied with average carbonation. I normally wouldn't go out of my way to try a British made IPA, but saw it was well regarded on here, so thought I'd give it a whirl. It's rep is well deserved. It's an excellent, bold and yet really well balanced IPA.
