Canned at 4.5% ABV. An orange coloured, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has fruitness, but it's almost over riped, grapefruit, banana. Taste has the same over riped problems as in the aroma, grapefruit, some bitterness. Medium bodied. Unfortunately, the fruitness is too over riped, it reduces the freshness.

Keg at McGeough's, Dundalk, 22/09/18. Clear golden copper with a well presented egg shell white head that retains well. Nose is airy malts, citric peel, tangerine, grass. Taste comprises bitter orange, toasted grains, mellow citric pith; melon, light grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced hop bitterness. Safe textbook kind of an IPA but clean and drinkable enough for me to take down a big boys pint all on my own !
