Dry Hopped with a fat stash of Cascade hops. Our most popular brew! A tasty West Coast style Extra Pale Ale accentuated with a stimulating hop character. First conceived in our bat cave on 4/20, this kind of beer keeps the wheels on the bus going round and round!

I had this previously many years ago in Leiden - didn't import from RB.
Took a chance to taste again.
Large foamy white head on a clear golden coloured body.
Biscuit, malt & grapefruit aroma
Medium bodied, foamy dry & cloying.
Malt, stewed fruit, caramel, grapefruit & bitter tastes with long well hopped finish.
Similar to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale 90s style - Good.

Keg half pint in the Birmingham Brewdog on 30th June 2026. Light haze to the body, white head. Liked it, hoppy but not overly bitter, fruity without going over the top (citrus wise), just a nice easy going beer.

Can from Brewdog, the Tilray years. It pours clear golden - yellow with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, green, piney sting, grassy, apricot, peach, mango, muted toffee and floral. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, pleasing bitterness, pine needles, green vibes, grass, resin, peppery spice, pithy citrus, grapefruit, waxy peel and nip of alcohol with a drying, bitter finish. Medium body and moderate,. fluffy carbonation. Decent APA.
