Supercharged India Pale Ale.... Rich/bright & amber/bronze with lots of American hop aroma. Distinctly bittersweet on the palate with a massive hop complexity fashioned deep within the IPA tradition.

On tap at Clove Hitch Liverpool. Deep amber copper colour lasting beige head. Big grapefruit resin aroma. Lots of sweet grapefruit resin pine in the mouth but in a good way. Yes intense grapefruit piney ipa. Fairly sweet and unsubtle. Harsh carbonation. Ok.

Keg @ Cafe Beermoth, Manchester. Hazy, deeper amber coloured ale with a thick frothy head. Has a strength, but still very palatable with a strong tropical fruitiness thatโ€™s a little stewed, but still full of character being crisp and flavoursome.

Keg at the Beavertown 4th birthday celebration. Pours clear gold with a frothy, white head. The nose holds pithy citrus, dry pale malts. Light-medium sweet flavor, quite dry and pithy, with flinty minerals, hay, dried citrus fruits. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Drying and pithy on the finish, with some rindy bitterness, pine needles, minerals. Not bad.

Keg at Beavertown. It pours hazy amber with a thick off-white head. The nose is fresh, juicy, orange, peach, apricot, stewed, cola cubes and earth. The taste is pine, resin, light toffee, peach, apricot, touch of alcohol and grass with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty juicy.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour with a mediumsized beige foamy head. Aroma is a bit soapy notes along with some fruity, floral and mild wooden notes. Flavour is mellow floral and fruity bitterness along with a slight bready and caramelly maltiness to it. Mellow and quite pleasantly balanced. Smooth palate as well, as the carbonation is a bit lively, but at the same time smooth when drinking.

0,33l bottle at home from trade with minutemat, big thanks. BB 01.04.2016. copper quite hazy color, small off-white head. smells of pines, exotic fruits, mango, pineapple, light sweetness, berry notes, some lemon, lightly grapefruity, lemon grass, some herbs. quite nice smell. full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of pines, grapefruit zest, citric, oranges, not sweet but has a obvious maltback bone, quite a lot of grass notes, after a while peppery & notes of lemon grass. finishes lightly bitter with notes of lemongrass, pepper and grapefruit zest. good stuff, rather limited bitterness especially on the finish, but very nice and refreshing because of the citric notes and the grapefruit zest. drinks quite good. there is an obvious malt backbone but its always in the background and so does not disturb the hops. The finish is a bit light, but this probably improves drinkability. Overall very nice beer.
