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.

Can. Gusher, difficult pour. Dark amber colour with massive foaming head. Tastes a bit rough. And stale. Light, fruity hop notes. Lasting bitter aftertaste.

330ml bottle from Co-Op Barmouth. Pours clear amber, small off-white head. Aroma of murky marmalade, caramel malt. Taste has a heavy sweet malt presence, berry fruits, pine, citrus. Unbalanced, malts too sticky sweet. Not massively into this.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 5/9/2015. Deep gold in colour, with a decent, off-white, head. Heavy malts, some tropical and berry fruits, leafy hops and a moderately bitter finish. A lot going on, but a bit disjointed.
