An english-style IPA with earthy, herbal hop notes, well-balanced by bready malt.
Why does the world need another IPA? Because this one ain't like them others. We use hops of a different color, earth and herbal, well-balanced by bready malt. The result? An English-style IPA that separates itself from the ubiquitous bunch.

Tap at Friends of Ham, Leeds. Just about clear, pale copper colour. Thin, tight, sticky white head. Lots of sweet, digestive biscuit malt. Fusty mandarin. Taste is fusty sweet, first off, then dry, and light bitter. Full palate. Bitter finish.

I expected more from this beer. It’s hoppy and fruity and all, but a bit plain.

0.355l bottle. Decent amount of sediment in the bottom of the bottle, but the body is clear orange with a quickly disappearing white head. Aroma of biscuit, caramel and grassy hops. Taste of caramel, biscuit, honey, orange zest and grassy hops. Quite bitter. Nice one.

Keg at Brewdog, Edinburgh. Didn’t expect a great deal, given the general tone of the review, but was pleasantly surprised. Pours clear pale gold with a good white head. Aromas of grassy hops, but some citrus notes. Good bitterness and finishes well, if a touch creamy. Solid, well made IPA.
