A balanced IPA with a distinct malty backbone commented by a smooth bitterness from a unique blend of west coast hops.

Golden to light amber colour, hazy; small compact head. The arom ais too mild, hints of malt, caramel, almost no hop. Lean body, quite strong malt flavour but not sticky, there is some caramel, some husky malt, some bread; old style hopping, focusing more on the bitterness, with a touch of bitter orange, no hop brightness.
West Coast IPA, old style IPA, but not too extreme in being so. Pleasant.

Smells of good sweet hops. Has nice head with mellow gold body. Flavour is soft hops with no character. Mouthfeel is crisp enough. Boring but workable.

On tap at Wolf, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Nose and flavour are massively infected with diacetyl. There's nothing else to say about this. C'mon guys - this is terrible. Server didn't know what diacetyl was and suggested that it must've been something I had eaten prior. No; this is shit.

Bottle - Loght citrus and caramel. Clear gold with a small white head. Light Woody bitterness with a dry finish. Not bad.
