This is By The River's core IPA and it is, as the name suggests, a banger!
Finest Golden Promise form the base with sprinkles of Oat, Chit and Wheat Malt lending great body to the mouthfeel. Carapils lends the warmth to the hue. Double dry hopped with Citra Cryo, Amarillo T90 and Simcoe T90 for maximum joose.

Can from lowcostbeer, consumed 1 month after BBE. Grotesque artwork of numerous skulls and bones placed in a ritualistic fashion. Why do I want to look at that before drinking a beer? I like a bit of gothic as well but there is something called subtlety. Maybe its just because I'm more into Nick Cave than death metal but more likely I'm getting old. Anyway, pours a hazy orange-gold with small white head. Aroma of orange, passionfruit and floral-earthy notes. Taste of short sharp flavoursome citrus drops, passionfruit, herbs, pine, malt. Citrus-bitter-pepper finish. Fine carbonation works well here. Very enjoyable but 1 mark off appearance due to potential future HP Lovecraft-esque nightmares.

Can at hotel room after a nice day with the kids at Space Expo Noordwijk. Unclear yellow orange color, small white head. Smell and taste malts, hops, decently resinous actually, sticky hoppy, okay bitterness. Decent to medium body and carbonation. Quite alright.

440ml can. Murky golden, white head. Aroma of peaches, pineapple, grapefruit. Taste is light sweet, juicy peaches, pineapple, grapefruit, moderate bitterness. medium body. Tastes suspiciously like a Wylam IPA, but in the best way possible - considering this is their core range it's excellent.

Can. Trembling Madness online. It’s a Wylam Beer. Hazed, orange gold. Fine white head. Nose has all of the pulped citrus and peach. Well wrung out hop juice here. Taste is sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body. A little dryness. Fine carbonation. Light bitter finish. It’s nice enough, but nothing at all to write home about.

Can picked up via Hoptimism, webshop, Loughborough, Leicestershire and consumed at home Attenkirchen, listening to Steve Lamaq on 6Music Tuesday 9th June 2020 we had Fish Fingers, Chips and Mushy Peas for tea. Hazy gold orange with a white head. Pineapple and citrus combine on the nose, good fruitiness, a little juicy, the pineapple keeps returning. First beer that I can recall having from this brewery and it's very good.
