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.

Can from the Parcel Yard, Leicester. Mid- to dark gold. Clear with very little head. Gooseberry, white grape and lemon biscuit in the sumptuous aroma. Sweet taste for an IPA with fruity hops and a bit of alcohol burn. Mild carbonation, which allows the full body to shine through. Man, this is well done. Understated yet bursting with character.

Can from M&S. Amber in colour, with a slight, white, head. Citrus hops, tangerine and pineapple fruit, balancing rich tea malts and a dryish finish. Enjoyable.

330ml can. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is malt, grassy, weedy, big tropical citrus fruit, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a fresh, crisp, malt, fruity citrus, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Light, crisp and packed with fruit and bitterness. A very decent IPA.

Danke an minutemat. Klebriger, süß-herber Hopfenbeginn. Noten von Heu, wenig Alkohol, weich hopfig. Klebrig würzig bleibend, steigend herb, mittellanger Nachhall. Unscheinbar aber lecker. 10/8/10/9/8/9

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 23rd September 2018. Coppery amber with shallow off-white foam. Remote malty and hoppy aroma. Rich and intense grapefruit and grassy hoppiness in-mouth, and a smoothly hoppy, grassy finish. Full bodied with an engaging mouthfeel.

Can. Amber with a white head that fades to a good coat. Aroma of of kumquats, bread, butterscotch, pine. Just medium bodied, maybe I'm persuading myself that there is a slight slickness. Not all that sweet. Citrus. bread, butterscotch. Quite bitter and I guess that clean up the palate.

Half pour (cask) at Purecraft. Dark golden with half finger creamy head. Aroma is biscuits, crackers, bready malts. Taste turns mildly fruity, slightly tropical, gentle bitterness. Sweet and bitter. Velvety smooth.
