A modern take on an English IPA, designed to showcase the best of the new wave of English hops. Olicana, Harlequin and Jester provide big passion fruit aromas with flavours of citrus and pine. It's proof that homegrown hops can compete with those fancy new international ones.

Keg at the Attic taproom Stirchley, 18/02/23. Moderately hazed orange with a good sized lasting just off white head. Nose is orange peel, grass, mellow citric shreds, airy malts. Taste comprises mandarin, soft malts, tangerine, bready notes, grains, melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with mellow hop bitterness. Okay if a touch sweet and flabby and lacking bitterness.

3rd October 2022 Can. This edition - Pilgrim, Olicana, Jester and Harlequin hops. A mild haze on this yellowish gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Some Harlequin skunk on the nose. Palate is light and has a pleasing light minerally crispness. Smooth light pale malts deliver just the right amount of creamy sweetness. The quartet of Brit Hops sing here - soft pine into a nice lemony fruitiness that has a vague and soft orchard fruit undertone. Harlequin skunk follows the nose but only really shows up on the back end and is well rounded and well integrated. The airy crispy finish reveals a mild but tingling hop spice and emphasises the soft pear like quality of the hops along with very mild but delightful bramble jamminess. Exceedingly good job. I do wish more brewers would stop automatically reaching for Citra and Mosaic and think about old Blighty hops. When used right, like they are here, they are a delight and quite different from their US cousins (whom I love...).
