A terrific golden summer session beer brewed exclusively with American hops to give a slight citrus character and a rich hop aroma. A relatively low ABV make this a true golden session ale to enjoy whatever the weather.

Can. Hazy golden body, white head. Interesting dank and candyish orange hoppy aroma. Strong tropical fruits in the taste, ending a bit salty. Had no idea this was this light in ABV, this is an excellent Session IPA really.

Handpull cask at Broood @ Vin Quatre, Leicester. Deep orange/golden a touch of natural carbonation. Overripe tangerine peel, tea biscuit, St Clements. Taste doesn't disappoint: bittersweet and hop-led with the most tenuous of sweetness in the finish. Grapefruit and watermelon notes in the aftertaste. Fantastic beer.

(Cask at Craft Beer Co Covent Garden, London, 24 April 2017) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with dense off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, grapefruit and tropical fruit. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, grapefruit, dried apricots, resin, biscuity malt and a dry finish with a balanced citric bitterness. Light body, quite dry. Tasty and refreshing, highly drinkable. Nice one.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. A herby floral aroma. Something along the lines of a pleasant mothball. Light gold. Very hazy. Decent enough white head. Light to medium bitter, grows in strength. Grapefruit and the aforementioned herbs. Some juicy sweetness in the mix. Light to medium bodied. Watery. Soft carbonation. Long astringent finish. Got some bite to the style. Good stuff.
