Can ordered from Twisted Crow, Basingstoke. Love a bit of Poison Idea. Aroma is resinous with stone fruit and citrus. Spice. An earthiness. Opaque light amber. Thin foamy white head. Medium-heavy bitter. Resin. Wood. Quinine. Jammy fruit provides some respite. Sugary hints in the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. I like. Bitter yet tangy. Would Pig Destroyer?

Keg @ House of Grain. Misty pale gold appearance, good pure white head. Light piney citrus aroma, continuing to taste. Relatively mild west coast character, gentle bitterness. Ok.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours clearish honey-gold with a frothy, pure white head. Gorgeous citrusy-piney character, sturdy but balanced resinous bitterness, supportive pale malts, tangerine, melon, orange rind. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Ideal balance to finish. A stunner.

Can from HoTM. It pours lightly hazy golden - orange with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, sappy, resinous, pine, orange marmalade, peach, mango, tangerine and orange blossom. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, bitter, resinous, sappy, pine, pithy, zesty, orange, tangerine, marmalade, orange blossom, touch green, peppery spice, light tannin and nip of alcohol with a dry, resinous finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Flavourful, rounded and satisfying. Such a nice balance to it.

Can from Cornelius. Hazy golden body with a white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange rind and parma violets. Flavour of marmalade, Lockets and menthol. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. A quality west coast IPA - tangy and hoppy.
