A classic India Pale Ale, with a resolute hoppy kick and lasting citrus finish. An American amber malt profile adds smooth caramel notes, balanced with Chinook, Columbus, Centennial and Eureka! hops.

Once settled, clear and golden with a creamy white head and soft malt and a touch of citrus on the nose. Creamy and smooth with soft orangey bitterness on top of a solid malt backbone.

Cask at the Hole in the Wall, Brighton on 28th August 2023. Clear gold with shallow whitish foam and pattern lacing. Zesty hop aroma with a hint of soapiness. Exquisitely hoppy in-mouth with citrus, delicate spices and savoury nuttiness. A finish of tangy fruits. Medium bodied with a zingy mouthfeel. Superb.
