Big Smoke make a great range of beers and we’ve enjoyed quite a number of them up at the brewery. The opportunity to collaborate was quickly taken up and we’re very excited for this bold flavoured IPA. Deep gold in colour, with intense aromas of citrus and pine, the body is balanced, robust and hop forward. Flavours of orange and pink grapefruit combine with just a hint of caramel.

Half pint, draught at Bankers Cat. Steady white head, clear amber body, fair lacing. Moderate smell of apricot and ripe orange. Solid citrus cocktail to the taste profile, including grapefruit and orange. Smooth, bittersweet fruity ending. Fine bodied. Nice. (Leeds 06.07.2022).

(Can) Pours clear amber with loose white head. Nice citrus aroma. Light body with plenty of carbonation if a little fizzy. Great taste with good balance of malt and hops. Nice fruity citrus start which quickly gives way to light caramel maltiness and nice hoppy bitterness. Very good.

(Keg at One Pint Pub, 20220529) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, herbalness and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, fruitiness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was grassy, malty and bitter. A nice hoppy brew.
