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.

Bottle. Golden beer with a good head. The aroma is hopped with some richness, and a little yeastiness. The flavour is strongly bitter with good mellow roastedness and plenty of hops. Overall a nice bitter and rich flavoured IPA.

(Cask at Gallows Bird, 20170902) The beer poured amber and clear. Its head was medium sized, bubbly and white. Aroma had earth, fruitiness and malts. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grass, earth, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, grassy and bitter. A nice stronger and bitter aftertaste showing hoppiness .

Can at home from Offie and Toffee. That was very nice; a proper British style IPA. Pleasant low carbonation gave a minimal head, but good lacing. A nice colour in the glass and a very good flavour. Strong bitter hops resulted in a taste of citrus peel that was lead by grapefruit. And if I was pushed then I would say that there was a slight sweetness of mango. A refined mouthfeel resulted in a beer that ticked all my boxes and it was one I thoroughly enjoyed.

330ml can. Clear golden colour with a big two-finger off-white head. Aroma: huge hit of apricot, then typical orange, mango, grapefruit citrus notes. Taste: tropical fruits, orange, mango, grapefruit, sweet malt, caramel, bitter finish. Medium body and carbonation, incredibly smooth mouthfeel. Fantastic IPA.

Cask in The Beer Engine, Skipton on 9th April 2017. Light amber body, weak white head. Citrus esters flow from the brew, you choose the various fruits (mango, grapefruit, lime, lemon or oranges). The taste is also a blend of citrus flavours, again name your fruits. Fairly dry and obviously full of hops: decent, if a little too citrusy for my palate.

33cl can from Beer52.com. A cloudy amber pour with a fast fading white head; grassy aroma; thick grainy body with a sharp acidic bitterness and some pine resin; then some sour tropical fruit to finish. Rather unbalanced.
