Evan and the team at Green Cheek make some of the best examples of modern Californian IPA's and it's been a pleasure working with them on our next iteration in the style. This beer is lean and mean! Super pale, super crisp, super bitter and super hopped!!!

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours clear yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. Delicious beer, moderately sweet, notes of dry pale malts, sun-kissed pine, orange peel, balancing bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Pleasingly bitter finish, lightly floral, more crisp pale malts, pine, citrus peel. Superb.
