Taste comprises orange peel, airy caramel malts, citric tinged straw, grapefruit, pine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with light juicy come grassy hop bitterness. Solid clean drinking West Coast affair.

[Panda from Low Cost Beer.] A slight hazy amber pour with a ring of white head; aroma of citrus and pine resin; rich caramel malt taste with a heavy load of hops adding spice and bitterness; then a smooth finish with a gentle warmth and lingering pine resin. A rather good IPA.

Can thanks to my bro. It pours lightly hazy orangey - amber with a bubbly white head. The aroma is fresh, bright pine, sappy, spruce, grapefruit, pomelo, lemon sherbets and dull toffee. The taste is dry, pleasing bitterness, sappy, oily, unctuous, resinous, sappy, fresh pine, green, west coast dankness, grapefruit, lemon peel, pomelo, herbal, minty almost, kick of alcohol and peppery spice with some piney tannin on the finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Lovely soapy pine and grapefruit. Quality stuff.

Growler fill from the Low Cost Beer online shop. Pours clear golden amber with a thin white head. Aromas of light pine, caramel and burnt grapefruit. Taste is pithy, chewy, resinous bitter, marmalade, but also some zingy citrus. Chewy toffee bitter finish. Nice.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Clear amber body with an off-white head that holds well. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of pine needles and mint. Flavour of caramel, blood orange and grapefruit. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. This is an excellent, piney IPA. I’d love to see this become an Elusive regular.

Can ordered from A Hoppy Place, Windsor. Aroma had resin, spice, grains. Clear copper gold, with a hint of amber. Thin foamy white head. Medium-heavy bitter. Resin. Peripheral citrus in the mix. Spice. Tempered somewhat by caramel malts. However it's the resinous bitterness that's that's the post-apocalyptic road warrior that defeats the cyborg raptors to stand tall. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Lovely IPA... intrigued to know how much was Elusive's influence (it's a West Coast) and how much the peope who let their non-league team die input into the final results.
