BBE APR 2013 - Pours clear orange with a foamy white head. Aroma of fruity hops, hints of citrus, lemon, grass, pine and biscuity malts. Taste is malty and caramely with some fruity hops, hints of citrus and lemon. Finish is bitter and dry with fruity hops and citrusy notes. Okay, quite dry and bitter IPA.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; clear copper pour, thin white head, hop aroma with caramel, resinous mouth feel, fresh citrus hop flavour. Really good that’s the second decent IPA from Dark Star tonight.

(Cask at Dean Swift, Tower Bridge, London, 21 April 2012) Amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, orange peel, treacle and resin. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of orange peel, grapefruit, resin and a generous citric bitterness in a long finish, all backed up by a solid malt foundation. Slightly more than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Impressive hop character. Lovely beer!

Cask @ OT. Pours hazy orange. Notes of black currant, grape and caramel. Super smooth. Heavy and refreshing bitterness. Very hoppy, but at the same time well balanced. Nice mix of the smooth and drinkable real ale qualities and an american IPA.
