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.

Taste is malt caramel balanced with tropical fruit, grapefruit citrus and pine bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, tangy grapefruit bitter finish. Very drinkable IPA.

Cask @ Black Door. Aroma is fruity with hops, peaches and fruit candy. Flavour has somewhat aggressive hops, peaches, grapefruit and mellow herbal bitterness. Finishes with lingering hops and nettles. Refreshing and nice, the herbal bitterness is slightly disturbing though.

Cask @ Joshua Brooks, Manchester. Deeper golden coloured with a thin frothy head. Has a very floral nose and plenty of this in its taste too - with a soapy texture. The strength is there but it does not impact on the taste or flavour.

330ml can. Beermoth, Manchester. Hazy orange. No real head on it. Juicy, ripe orange fruitiness. Lots of tropical fruit. A bit pithy, and a bit of a herbal medicine thing going on. Behind that there’s plenty of sweet, grainy maltiness. Taste is juicy sweet, turning dry, and pithy bitter. Soft carbonation, and an oily palate. Finishes semi dry, and lengthy bitter. Good one. Expected more sharpness, and a bit more life from a canned IPA, mind you.
