A firm favourite, fans of the New England Pale style will not be disappointed. Tropical fruit and peach flavours come through from the carefully selected hops. A very well balanced big hitter. Added oats result in a smooth mouthfeel. Fans of a fruitier style of Pale Ale will relish this excellent unfined and unfiltered beer.

Large foamy white head left a froth on a hazy pale lemon coloured still body. Lemon, herbal & chemical aroma. Medium bodied, sharp, dry & clean. Bitter, lemon, chalky & melon tastes with a tangy citrus finish. Decent beer but poor interpretation if the NEIPA style.

Half-pint, tap, shared with Finn at Big Smoke, Heathrow. Firm white head that laced fine, unclear grey-golden body. Moderate aromas of citrus fruits. Quite sappy citrus flavours, grapefruit and lemon. Mid-sweet fruity endnotes. Medium bodied. Refreshing and okay. (Airside, Heathrow 24.11.2021).

[33cl can from Beer52.] An opaque amber pour with a tight white head; lemony aroma; strong citrus taste with grapefruit to start then lemon and then clementine; and a clean crisp finish. A pleasantly fruity APA.

Delt med Rune på Big Smoke Heathrow. Lys appelsinfarget. Veldig uklar. Middels høyt tett skum. Aroma av sitrusfrukt & bær. Smaken tørket frukt. Tørr - svakt bitter - avslutning.

Can from Big Smoke Brew Co, Esher, Surrey. A hazy golden/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, tropical fruit aroma and taste. Slight hint of pineapple in there too. Decent pale ale from Big Smoke.

Can on 18th December 2020 from Advent Calendar. Pours hazy gold with shallow lasting off-white foam and spot lacing. Hoppy and fruity aroma. Tropical fruits, floral hoppiness and grapefruit citrus in-mouth. Pineapple and grapefruit dominate the finish. Smooth mouthfeel and light body.
