Old rating from 03-04-15 - 500ml bottle from the brewery on my Wales road trip. Poured at home in Jersey, it's brown with a white foamy head. Aromas & tastes of citrus, pine, cinnamon, earth, bread, wood & resin. Medium body. Dry & long medium bitter finish. Very enjoyable

On tap at the Southampton Arms. Looks very orange with a small head which lasts the whole way down. Feel like I could taste the alcohol. Taste is quite citrussy, particularly orange with a bit of sherbet in there too. Nice pint. --- Beer merged from original tick of mOtley Brew on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:06 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 8.

A very nice and very strong IPA; possibly a double. A taste of hops and also of wood, the latter being most pleasant and really adding to the flavour. All in all a very nice beer and would happily drink it again, but not sure you would be able to drink 2 in a row.

(Bottle) Clear deep amber with slight white head. Excellent hoppy aroma - pine citrus with some candy notes. Medium body with excellent carbonation. Some dark toffee sweetness at the start, with pine notes appearing and developing into a good hoppy bitter finish. Nice DIPA.

Bottle. Bronzy brown beer with a strong off white head. The aroma is well hopped and gently roasted, and the flavour is deeply bitter with a degree of richness and a lot of roastedness. Overall a nice strong IPA. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle from Saucy Pears. Appearance - beautiful amber with an attractive fluffy head. Nose - orange and hinting of pineapple. Slight funky edge, very yeasty. Taste - orangey yoghurt. Then it finishes with a tangy orange note. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - solid but not sure there should be this much yeast influence.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a murky medium amber with a big frothy white head. The aroma is citrus fruit, grassy hop. The flavour is medium bitter with a gorgeous smooth woody ligjht resin nettle hop palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Lots going on here with plenty of flavours.
