ABV: 5.5% IBU: - Ticks: 30
Bold, brazen, ballsy and brewed with American prized hops, this IPA has the volume turned up to just the right level without the hops being overwhelmingly deafening. Prepare to be dazzled by a stunning explosion of exotic citrus fruits and grapefruit, before a gripping, piney finish that’ll have you diving back for more.

Aroma: Lush tropical fruit cocktail, alluring elderflower and rose.
Flavour: Zingy grapefruit, zesty citrus, a spicy and piney kick to finish.

Bottle at home, 26/12/17. Rich golden copper with a well presented off white head that retains well. Nose is caramel malts, biscuit, bitter orange, toasted bread, stewed fruits. Taste comprises caramel malts, candied fruit peel, light spice, biscuit crumble, orange pith, melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splased with balanced earthy hop bitterness. Passable for the style ... a touch sweet and old skool but better than I'd expected given the scores.
