Aromatic and tropical, combining citrus with soft pine notes. A full bodied and heartily hoppy IPA. Pale, Munich & Vienna malts combine with hefty hopping in this bold, brash blast of Americana. Freshly fruity, a distinct yet well integrated bitterness melds with a rich malt backbone. This IPA is finally lavished with a cocktail of citrusy American hop varieties, such as Cascade and Citra, adding amazing aromatics and a fiesta of flavours

500ml bottle. Pours clear amber, small consistent white head, nice lacing. Aroma is malty, zesty, sweet mango, grass. Standard regional brewery cheap IPA feel. Taste is as per aroma, nice tangy fruit note in the middle, but a bit of a dry resin noted bitter finish which isn't that tasty. Medium bodied, chewy finish.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from the local Sainsbury’s. Pours clear copper-gold with a creamy, off-white topping. Lightly sweet with notes of sun-baked malts, grass, crispy pine, dirty hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Bitter finish, light dried resin, more grassy hops, sun-kissed malts. Very decent old-school IPA.

Bottle from Sainsbury's obviously. Appearance - golden amber with gentle carbonation and a fluffy white head. Nose - caramel, biscuit and dried orange. Taste - more caramel with honeycomb and toffee. Hobnob and sultana. Palate - light to medium bodied, creamy middle with gentle bitterness after initial sweetness. Overall - somewhere between a bitter and a west coast ipa.

Bottle from Sainsbury's Supermarket, Blackley. Golden with a bubbly head. Has a soft tasting texture, surprisingly so for its strength, but is not weak tasting. Hoppy with a low fruitiness, it's pleasant enough.
