Hazy amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is smooth but with decent fine carbonation. Light malts, some creamy sweetness. A full medley of orange hop character - fresh orange, orange peel, orange marmalade and floral orange. Traces of grapefruit and lemon. Dry and mildly bitter finish. Good IPA but just lacks that bit of pixie dust somehow.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from the brewery. Pours mostly clear gold with a frothy white head. The aroma holds bready pale malts, some peach, tangerine, slight pine. Medium sweet with further bready pale malts, tangerine, orange, subtle rindy bitterness, some pithy grapefruit, touches of grass, nectarine. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly resinous to close, with more citrusy hops, subtle pine, pale malt base. An easygoing IPA overall. Perfectly drinkable, but it doesn’t really sing on any front.

Bottle. Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Murky, mucky amber. Untidy, pink and grey tinged, lasting, white head. Very sweet, stewed tea hop. Super juicy, tropical fruit. Strawberry trifle and the like. Taste is fruity sweet, turning moderately bitter. Smooth, oily mouthfeel. Bitterness and dryness rise on the finish, but overall it stays pretty sweet.

Bottle from Sourced Market St Pancras drunk at home. Hazy dirty amber colour lasting cream head. Grapefruit tangerine earthy hop aroma. Smooth mouth feel. Some toffee in the malts. Hops are decent. It really is almost my kinda ipa with Pnw hops and a little malt sweetness. Maybe a little sweet. Good hops though
