An IPA for everyday drinking. A pale malt base gives a crisp mouthfeel that allows late addition and dry hops to come through with a punchy bitterness and a good deal of hop flavour in such a light beer.

Half-pint, cask ale at Pint Shop in Cambridge. Clear warm golden body, upper part lacing from a dissipating white head. Moderate smell of grass and floral hops. Flavoured with leafy hops and citrus with subdued malty sweetness beneath. Mid-dry bitter endnotes. Pretty alright. (09.07.2019).
