This IPA has a medium body and a crispness you'd expect from a west coast beer. Fermented on a clean West Coast yeast strain to allow the new world hops to shine.

440ml can. Slightly hazy orange, white head. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, caramel. Taste is the same, piney, grapefruit, orange, with some sweet caramel/toffee malt and grains, bitter hop finish with some light earthy notes. It's old school in a sort of nostalgic way. As jmgreenuk said; a bit simple by today's standards but actually pretty enjoyable.

440ml can from the Phantom taproom. Poured a mostly clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head and a few bubbles. The aroma is grainy malt, light toffee caramel. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a crisp, fresh, malt, light toffee, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. A rather simple IPA by today’s standards but very tasty and moreish.
