The simple malt bill gives an ABV of 5.8% which carries the flavour and really allows the hops to shine through. The hops used are of American origin, Colombus, El Dorado and Cascade. With multiple generous additions in the kettle and further dry hopped before it reaches you as fresh as it can be.

Draught at the Beer Market. Clear shiny golden colour. Good stable frothy white head. The flavour is grapefruity and nicely dusty/chalky. Good mouthfeel. Malty bordering on sweet. Goes down well.

From tap to pint glass in Dublin. Pours clear golden-copper with moderate white head that falls away and leaves a ring over the top and a dusting. Slight patterns down the glass. Aroma is mixture of faint floral and malt aspects. Flavor presents with orange, however, the back half of the palate fades into yeast and white cracker.

Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso il luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto opalescente. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono la forma del perlage. Il colore è giallo dorato torbido. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, agrumi, pompelmo, cannella ed erbe aromatiche.

500ml bottle; BB 26th Feb 19. Shared with Andy on 27th May 18 at a family barbecue in my back garden. Light haze to the unfiltered beer, golden bodied, white topping. Citrus like nose and taste, malts show themselves late in the sip; decent, solid IPA.
