Brewed with extra hops and malt in the English tradition, but with West Coast style. This deep golden India Pale Ale is artfully balanced with a fresh, powerful aroma and a luscious finish.

355ml bottle @ Chez Sophie. Pours a clear deep amber, medium off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts, light fruit. Taste is heavy on the caramel malts, with a fair sweetness offset by a piney resinous hop character. Not my go-to IPA style, but its confident hop presence just about rescues it for me.

IPA ale dziwne jakies. Kiepski wygląd, niewielka piana, brak metnosci tylko leciuteńko mgliste. Zapach cytrusowy wyrazisty, trochę nawet ziolowy. W smaku to chmielowe nuty, owoce cytrusowe i cos co mi przeszkadzalo natrętny posmak miodu, do tego sprawia wrazenie jakby było tłuste, tak tłuste kojarzylo mi się z rybim tłuszczem, lub starym olejem na którym smażono frytki. Chmielowa baba była spora, ale ogolnie to IPA jest dla mnie obleśne. Nie polecam

Clear and golden with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a fair amount of resinous hop. Some toasty malts and caramel too.

355ml bottle. Clear, orangey golden colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Floral hoppy aroma, hints of chamomile, lavender, idunno, a touch of liquorice as well. Taste is bitter hoppy, slightly floral, some liquorice, biscuity malty basis with a crakcer touch; throttled lively carbonation. Nothing spectacular, but flawless, clean and crisp.

On tap @ Beer Temple. Hazy orange color. Rather stiff white head with some lacing. Aroma’s: citrus, a bit resin, light malty sweetness. Retronasal it’s more earthy and citrus. Flavor is moderate earthy bitter with light sweetness. Medium bodied. Finishes with some herbal hops first and eventually earthy bitter.

Flaska från Boxbeer. Klar bärnstensfärgad vätska med ganska lågt skum. Ganska försiktig fruktig doft med aprikos, ananas, citrus, gräs och tallskott. Fint balanserad kropp som är rejäl utan att bli för söt men med smak av mandelskorpor. Ganska gräsig och örtig humleprofil med lite frukt och blommor i bakgrunden, måttlig beska. En trevlig IPA.

Tap at the brewery tap Drakes Dealership. Clear mid orange bright coloured pour with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet orange peel, floral notes, little spicy pine. Flavour is composed of solid base malts, clean ferment, light honey, orange rind, pine needle, palate is frothy, semi sweet, semi dry finish. Decent IPA. Lingering bitter pine.
