Get barrelled by bombs of Cascade and Centennial hops and spat out by that classic West Coast bitterness. Piney and fruity with plenty of juice, expect gnarly swells of bodacious flavour.

Draft. A golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of hops, perfume, pine needles, citrus fruits, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, hops, pine needles, citrus fruits, and a bit of perfume, leading to a bitter finish.

Nose is citrus, lemon, lime, hint of pineapple. Taste is pine, grapefruit, ripe mango, spicy, good malt body, pineapple, slight herbal and pine, bitter resin finish. Very tidy example and nice to see a good West coast ipa, they are suddenly a bit rarer

Can from Tesco and drunk at home. Hazy gold orange colour lasting white head. Pine resin tangerine and grapefruit aroma. Yes I did like the pine resin a lot. some moderate bitterness on the finish. I rather liked it. The orange flavours are good. Some sweetness. Good.

Can. Tesco. Moderate haze on a vibrant, pale, yellow gold. Thin, leggy, lasting, white head. Nose has pine needle and bark. Pulped orange. Some blood orange. Touch of lime juice. Spicy biscuit malt as a backdrop. Not an oat for miles. Taste is lightly tart, pithy, oily citrus bitter, with barely a trace of malt sweetness. Medium body. Nice and slick hop oilage, here. Fine carbonation. Lingering citrus and piny bitterness to finish. Great stuff.

Can in the garden from Tesco, 7th September 19. Pours a golden beer. Aroma is pine and citrus. Taste is pleasing, bitter, pine, smooth, citrus and pith. Good west coast IPA, love the bitterness, think I’m done drinking all the sweet thick NEIPAs now.
