This beer neither changes colour, nor does it have zygodactylous feet. Like a chameleon, however, this is hiding in plain sight. We brewed a cracking session IPA, removed the gluten, and left… well, as far as we can tell, exactly the same beer. Same aroma, same hoppy bitterness, same mouthfeel. A slammable beer designed for pints and friends.

440ml can. Gluten Free. Golden colour, foamy white head leaving lacing and aroma of fruity citrus. Taste is malt, fruity, citrus, grapefruit, pine, hoppy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry spicy hoppy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Op tap bij The Scrapyard. Ze noemen het zelf een Session IPA en ik ben het daar wel mee eens. Mistig bleekgele kleur, witte kraag. Citrus, grapefruit, citrusschil, licht moutig, bitter. Verfrissend, goed.

Can from Cornelius. Pours clear pale yellow gold with a thin white head. Aroma of citrus and light biscuit. Taste is orange and white bread. Very smashable.

Rerate on keg, same visit. Much better and more of a bite. Getting into grapefruit too. On cask at the Black Isle Bar. Appearance - hazy golden amber. Thin white head. Nose - gentle orange and vread. Taste - orange and biscuit. Palate - light bodied, dry finish. Overall- a solid citizen and easy to drink a few.

Slightly hazy, yellow pour with a decent white head; aromas of fruit, pine and hops, tastes add some more fruit, spice/pepper. Nice and sessionable.

Can picked up at the brewery. It pours clearish pale muddy blonde with an average white head. The aroma is sweetish, soft orchard fruits, apricot, persimmon, floral and some grain. The taste is dry, snappy bitterness, grassy, floral, fragrant, peppery spice, pot pourri, waxy citrus peel, orchard fruits, straw and grain with a dry, floral finish. Lightish body and fine carbonation. A bit lacklustre to be honest. Not a huge to it and lacks some condition. Fair at best.
