Citra & Mosaic hops drive this solid, sessionable New England style IPA. Aroma and flavour of ripe melon with notes of stone fruits (peach and apricot).
They said it couldn't be done. That his arms were just too small. But he knew different. He found a way in. IN TO THE BEER!

Very hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma of grass, herbal hops, lemon and tropical fruits. Flavour is moderate sweet and moderate to heavy bitter. Medium bodied with some hop burn in the finish and soft carbonation. Great to see some nice IPA coming from Portsmouth, the city I where went to university.

440ml can bought at The House of Rapture in Portsmouth. Shared with Finn. Unclear pale golden body, clingy lacing, filmy layer. Moderate hop fruity taste of peaches and dusty hops. Firm fruity taste of pineapple and peaches, hints of grain as well. Mid-dry fruity finish. Satisfying. (Hotel room, Reading 26.10.2019).

24/8/2019. Can from Hopsters, Ipswich and shared at the Ipswich & North Essex beer share. Pours slightly hazy very pale gold with an average sized frothy white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, grapefruit, peach and light pine. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily and watery texture, average to soft carbonation. Started well, faded a little, but comically named!

Gusjegrågul. Uklar. Filmskum. Litt lacing. Lett plommearoma. Smaken som aromaen - med innslag av fersken. Pærer igjen i avslutninga.
