440ml can at home. From KCM Vantaa.
Poured clear and golden in color.
Nice, crisp, floral pale ale with stone fruity notes, citrus and a proper dry, bitter finish. Recommended.

330ml can from Honest Brew. Fairly clear gold with small white head, lots of retention. Aroma is biscuit malts and citrus, stone fruit notes. A slightly old style IPA aroma. Taste confirms this with biscuit, apricot, grapefruit, zest, good dose of bitterness. Leaves a pine resin tangy bitter aftertaste which I've never been too keen on. Medium body and carbonation. As a beer its quite good but as an IPA its below average for me.

Appearance is clear golden, with a 2-finger rocky white head. Aroma is hops, citrus fruit, grapefruit, sherbet lemon, orange. Taste is yeasty, hop bitterness, piney hop hints, bit of stewed orange, malty undertones. Solid ‘old-school’ IPA.

Cask at the old bridge inn Aviemore. Pours a clear golden colour with a small head. Aroma is very malty, rich and caramelly, nutty. Light hops. Medium body. Flavour is rich and malty, light caramel and nut notes, medium bitterness, pine, fruity with lots of citrus. More of an ESB than an IPA, but excellent.

330ml can from Fyne Ales tap room - clear golden body with a mad white rocky top. Fruity nose with a well rounded sweet citrus taste. Great mouthfeel by the way.
