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

440ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, July 24. Pours a deep reddish amber, good off-white head. Big resinous bitter piney west coast here. Seems a long time since I've had a good piney bitter west coast, and this compliments the style with some excellent amber red ale malt, chewy moments.. very very good indeed.

On tap at Elusive Taproom, Finchampstead, Berks. A hazy amber/red coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, orange, caramel, pine taste and aroma. Finishes rather bitter but it's still a highly drinkable red IPA from Elusive.

Panda, thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this amber beer, small cream colour head. Smooth palate, a mild dryness, decent fine carbonation. Soft malts, a light creamy sweetness offset by caramel and dark toffee, almost a coffee vibe developing. Smooth light pine. Decent marmalade. Smooth and semi dry finish. Mild hop spice linger. Nice brew. Kinda wants to be a barleywine when it grows up but it's nice to revisit this style of beer.
