Draft. Golden-amber beer with a cream head. Light grapefruit and light pine aroma. Summer and grapefruit flavor with pine. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Summer and grapefruit linger with pine.

Can. Clear golden amber with a 2cm white head that lasts well. Punchy yet somehow refined aroma of grapefruit, citrus blossoms, breadcrust, wafty pine. Moderately sweet with kumquat joining breadcrust before grapefruit and then pine. Dries out with more than firm but never harsh bitterness at the end. Excellent.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from the Cascade Club. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. Medium sweet flavour with lean pale malts, dry piney hops, orange rind, candied citrus. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Dry and resinous on the finish, more candied orange, dry pale malts. Outstanding throwback gear.

Can from Cascade Club. It pours clear yellow - gold with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, clean, bright, lovely citrus vibes, grapefruit, lemon, candied peel, splash of lemonade, touch of tropical vibes and hint of bread. The taste is crisp, clean, firm dryness, pleasing level of bitterness which lingers throughout, touch of west coast greenness/dankness, piney, pithy, zesty, dry citrus peel, lemon, grapefruit and touch of peppery spice with a bitter - dry, finish. Medium body and moderate. Just what I needed. Lovely crisp West coast IPA.
