Brewed with 100% Citra hops that create aromas of mango, apricot, grapefruit & mandarin orange, along with a lasting, juicy, tropical fruit bitterness, the Baby-Faced Assassin is a deceptively quaffable India Pale Ale that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

An absolute cracker. Clear dark gold with a creamy white head and a slightly stewed fruit and biscuit malt aroma. Full on bitterness from the get go, with piney notes, citrus fruit and biscuit malt all in the mix, and all delivered on a lovely smooth and creamy medium bodied mouthfeel

330ml can. Gold, small white head, some retention. Aroma of tangerine, mango , pine but quite stewed and malty. You can tell this is not going be a session version body wise. Quite a resinous taste of semi-stewed tropical fruits, part fresh, tangy. Full body, moderate carbonation, quite a bitter and dry finish. Decent stuff.

Foamy white head stayed on a slightly hazy amber coloured still body. Malt & stewed fruit aroma. Medium bodied, smooth on the tongue with well carbonated back. Bitter pith, stewed fruit, grapefruit, pine & dank tastes with a malt backbone. What have been missing..... Didn't realise this was so good

Can: Poured a coppery orange with an off white head. Aroma is perfume hops, little fruity. Taste is nice hops forward, fruity, with some malt balance, hops stay on into that rugged palate finish.
