Light in colour but heavy on flavour. Two big American hops battle it out for your attention.

Keg at The Hanging Bat. Pours clear pale gold, thin white head. Aromas of resin, orange, grapefruit. Taste is more grapefruit pith bitterness, light sweet backnote. Medium body, bitter finish. Good stuff.

Tap at Brew by Numbers brewery, Bermondsey, London. A hazy golden/amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, malty, ripe orange aroma. Tastes similar, hoppy, malty, ripe orange/ tangerine, some tropical fruit, musty and rich. Nice IPA.

On tap at Brew by Numbers, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is very orangey, with loads of resinous hops. Flavour is very similar, with loads of bitter resinous hops, orange zest, and dry biscuity malt. Very well-balanced, with a dry hoppy finish. Excellent stuff.

330ml [6.7% abv]. Hazy, orangey dark golden to amber colour with average, thick, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Grassy, citrusy fruity hop aroma, notes of grapefruit, some pine, some orange zest in the background; slightly herbal, earthy character overall. Taste thrills in mode of a crisp, biting, bitter hoppy drumbeat with citrusy fruity notes, biscuity caramel malty basis, a slightly grassy and earthy touch. Excellent. Fresh hop bitterness could wake the dead. Perfectly balanced, still slightly rough and dirty. Not with that American (e.g. Bear Republic Racer 5), self-expressive attitude of clarity and accuracy, rather with the natural power and beauty of a Rugby player (and his grass stained jersey).

Bottle at home from the brewery. Hazed golden orange coloured pour with e lasting thin white cap. Aroma is initially zesy lemon,satuma and light grass. Then the aroma has some caramel and chewy resin. Flavour is lemon, sharp grapefruit, and balancing sweet orange notes. Some caramel and toasted malts. Assertive smooth, piney, orange hop bitterness. Lingering woody note is a bit off-putting. Palate is medium full, nicely sticky resin. All nicely in balance.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Hazy, amber colour. Some lumps. White, bubbly, broken, sticky head. Lots of peachy, sweet maltiness. Light grapefruit. Hint of mint. Hint of spice. Taste is juicy sweet. A little dryness, then plenty of spicy, pink grapefruit bitterness. Juicy palate, with a little oiliness. Very nice, although a bigger hop bosh would have been fine by me...

330ml bottle from Borough Wines. Bottle says 6.7%. Pours orange with decent head. Lovely, fresh and pleasantly hoppy with a floral aroma and fruity orange hops. Refreshing and drinkable.
