Can from the White Hag BoxTravaganza box sent directly from White Hag, it's Saturday 14th August 2021 we're sat outside having a Zoom chat with the wonderful person who sent us this, big, big cheers to Steve Matthews. Loved watching the clip of Paul Jones from Cloudwater in the YouTube White Hag BoxTravaganza video. Light to mid gold with a white head, almost clear. Nice resinous touch throughout, smooth, streaky. Softness, citrussy bite good. I would personally like my West Coast IPAs to be a bit more Sierra Nevada Torpedo, however this is extremely well balanced, difficult to find fault with this, it's really drinkable.

On tap at Unit 9. Pours lightly hazed orange gold with a decent white cap. Aroma is sticky orange, piney hop, hint of grain. Taste is sticky orange, bit of grapefruit, piney hop, grain. Nice clean West Coast IPA. Solid.

Can. CW online. Light haze on a pale gold. Fine CW swede. Nose has clean malt and piny hop, as you might hope. Orange peel and grapefruit pulp. Taste is nicely bitter, with a modicum of sweetness. Crisp and bright on the palate. Fine carbonation. Lingering bitterness to finish. Clean and punchy throughout. Good gear.
