This mammoth IPA is defined by generous quantities of juicy American hops. The extensive dry hopping process contributes to its bright and flavorful character. This beer is unfiltered to leave all the natural flavors intact and bottle conditioned to stay super fresh.

Keg tap at BrewDog Leicester. Amber/brown, clear, with a spotty off-white head. Resinous pine, sweet herbs, cola nut, forest floor, sarsaparilla in the aroma. Wow, I was not expecting that. The taste is bittersweet and mellow, with sweet herbal notes closing out the finish. More resin in the aftertaste. A lovely IPA and not identikit like so many Anglo-American expressions of the style.

Sample at SBWF 2017. Hazy golden with a white head. Quite mild with hops, citrus, some tropical fruit and malt. The body was medium as was the bitterness.

Hazy gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light and minerally crisp. Light malts, clean and sweetish. Good bright piney hop with light but fresh tasting orange and tangerine. Touches of pink grapefruit and mango. Light crisp finish. Bright and breezy, very easy drinking.

Pours an amber from a bottle, a mix of tropical fruit and floral hope notes in the nose and mouth. Standard IPA. Good beer.
