I can't pretend I went into this with high expectations but it's a perfectly drinkable APA. Crisp, bitter citrus, a bit of malty caramel. It's not special but it does the job.

Bottle from Asda. Amber in colour, with a big and tight, off-white, head. Sweetish, citrus hop and marmalade aroma. Flavour had pineapple, tangerine and pine notes, some crisp malts and a dryish finish. A good effort by Caledonian.

Keg, pint at the Pheasant. Medium amber with small skin of head. Aroma is non-existent. Taste brings some generic maltiness to the brew, a small hint of hops too. More like an American amber than an IPA.

Keg, half-pint at Grain Loft. Clear amber body, spotty lacing from a filmy layer. Grainy aromas, hints of herbal hops. Wood, biscuit and moments of leafy hops to the taste buds. Bittersweet tail, semi-dry. Soft on the swallow. Satisfying. (Manchester Airport 07.05.2018).

Pint on tap at McGlynns, Kings Cross. Golden amber beer with thin white head. Light carbonation. Citric nose, some grass. Crisp, clean, fizzy. Finish is mildly bitter and herbal. Nothing special but easy-drinking with a nice texture.

Bottle from ASDA, Keighley. Golden with a small carbonation. Nicely styled, fuller-bodied IPA without being overly praiseworthy.

330ml bottle from Ken Warne, Darlington. Amber colour, white foam head leaving alittle lacing and aroma of malt, yeast extract, caramel and citrusy hops. Taste is malty caramel, sweetish, earthy, some yeasty notes, toffee, alittle bsicuit and tangy citrus & woody pine bitterness. Light bodied, soft to medium carbonation, dry bitter finish. Quite OK.
