This is a classically styled West Coast TIPA. Simcoe, Chinook and Columbus hops combine to deliver a resinous profile with a citrus undertone. The bitterness helps to balance the light caramel of malts.

Can at home from Elusive, 11th November 23. Pours clear and golden. Aroma is pine resin and bold citrus. Taste is sweet, resinous pine, bitter citrus, alcohol well covered and a resinous, and citrus bitter linger. Lovely

Can at home, from HOTM online, 04/09/23. Clear golden copper topped with a just off white head. Nose is bitter orange, pine needle, grass, grapefruit, bitter tropical fruits, toasted malts. Taste comprises orange pith, pine needle, booze, caramel, raw pineapple, grass, citric tinged straw. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, light drying close spiked with lightly aggressive grassy come resinous hop bitterness. Solid WC leaning affair ... packs a good level of bitterness for a TIPA and never veers sweet.

On tap at Elusive Taproom, Finchampstead, Berks. A golden/orange/straw coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Sweet, hoppy, malty, orange, caramel, pine taste and aroma. Sweeter than expected but a highly drinkable TIPA from Elusive.

Can shared in London. Cheers to Dan. Pours clear, glowing gold with a creamy, white head. Medium sweet flavour with meaty pale malts, a little honey, sun-baked pine, tangerine, orange rind. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly resinous finish, still a little drying. Super solid.

Craft Beer Junction bottleshare. Thanks to Dan the Man for the Can. Almost clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth light creamy sweet malts. Nice light pine. Good juicy semi ripe tropical fruits. Touch of citrus. Mild hop spice on the semi dry finish. Nice brew, very slightly sweet.

Can online from HOTM. Pours clear gold with a white cap. Aroma: biscuit malts, citrus, grapefruit, pine sap. Taste: moderate sweet & moderate to heavy bitter, sticky, sappy, bitter orange marmalade. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Found this relatively boozy but it didn't detract.

440ml can. Clear golden, white head. Aroma of pine, resin, citrus. Taste of sweet caramel malts, grapefruit, pine, resin, bitter finish, no booze. Smooth. An ecxellent TIPA but how on earth is this *less* boozy and bitter than the double version!? Makes no sense.

Tap at Hop Locker, Southbank. Aroma is really malty, grainy, with a resinous edge. Slightly opaque dark amber. Resinous intrction followed by a fist-full of malts and grains. Some citrus in the mix. Followed by booze. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation with some lazy fizz. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Lovely boozy stuff.
