ABV: 6.3% IBU: - Ticks: 6
A dank, piney, assertively bitter IPA that offers a long dry finish, clean yeast profile and plenty of citrus zest crispness.

Try me alongside Back To Reality where we used the same hops and malt profile to create two styles of IPA.

Can picked up from Favourite Beers, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and consumed at Scott and Mandy's Dumbleton, Worcs' Saturday 9th October 2021 listening to Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on 6 Music. Pours gold in colour, white head atop. Piney resinous and moderate bitterness, finish is dry and runs on a little. Good but needs a bit more work.

Keg at Hive, Crowthorne. Low key musky pine aroma with a touch of fruit. Gold. Thin creamy translucent white head retreats to the rim. Light bitter. Develops a slight tang and late tart bite. But overall pretty one dimensional - grapefruit, quinine and grains. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long astringent finish. Not great. Gradually gets more and more tart but that's it.

Keg @ Tap & Can. Generally clear gold appearance, small white head. Piney introduction on the nose. Taste brings soft resinous citrus, pine needles.. could be more piney for the style, but is nicely balanced overall.

Tap at the brewery with Dad, 19th June 2021. Pours a clear golden. Aroma is resinous, bitter, citrus, grapefruit and pith. Really west coast and a great IPA, really liked this, very good beer

Slightly hazy gold with a bubbly white head and a piney, citrusy aroma. That resinous pine continues into the taste, but a little subdued, the fruit a much stronger presence, before a lovely bitter finish
