A hop forward hazy pale ale brewed with malted oats combined with heaps of late Amarillo, Citra, Ekuanot & Chinook hops. This beer gives big tropical citrus flavours with a soft juicy mouthfeel.

Previously a 4.7% Session IPA with different hops (changed 11/2021).

Keg pint at the Wrekin Inn, 15th June 2025, Fathers Day. Hazed golden body, white crust. Tropical fruit nose and taste, some pine action in there too, just a bit too citrusy for me.

3 pints on keg at the Gidea Park Tap Room. Near clear gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Smooth palate with good fine minerally carbonation bringing up the rear. Light smooth creamy sweet malts. Hops are a delight, soft cooling pine and a soft underlying hop skunk with the main show being a fairly broad spectrum of hoppy citrus and tropical fruits. Goes down very easy indeed. Packs a hoppy punch for a SIPA.

Cask at Seven Stars, Derby (not listed in RateBeer). Pours a bright copper with a small off-white head and good lacing. Malts to the fore in the aroma – plus some hints of nuts. Malts again upfront in the mouth, where the general sensation is bitter-sweet (oscillates between the two). Autumn fruits and mushy stewed apples are there too with a few hints of general spices. Finish is a little more bitter. This is OK, but doesn’t set the world alight.
