An aggressively hopped IPA. Tropical fruits on the nose, with a bold bitterness and a dry floral finish balanced with a sweet, malty biscuit back bone.

Can delivered from ASDA and drunk at home during the lockdown. Dark golden and slightly hazy with a film of white head. Sweet scent of tangerine, marmalade, Some resin. The taste is sweet with citrus and tropical fruit at first, followed by a harsh, almost metallic hop bitterness which continues to the finish. Heavily carbonated. Not bad.

On tap at the Land Rover mobile bar. Thursday 24th May 2018 at Bearded Theory Festival. It looks dark gold through my green plastic glass. gold, a touch of summery fruits on the nose, there is a little fruitiness throughout but the hoppy bitter bite is lacking a little. However it's fine enough. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3
