Our take on the Classic West Coast IPA. Clean, crisp, piney and resinous. A big whack of hop bitterness, combine with a dry finish to make this a go-to beer for the hot summer months.

Cask at GBBF'23, day three, 03/08/23. Golden blonde with an off white cap that retains well. Nose is tangerine, grass, papaya, melon, soft malts. Taste comprises melon, soft breads, orange zest, grass, airy malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow light juicy hop bitterness. Not bad.

440ml can as part of a delivery from Beautiful Beers and drunk at home. Dark gold and clear with a large, rocky beige head. Grainy aroma, light citrus, metallic notes. Tastes pretty bitter with a tongue-coating load of bittering hops. Not a lot of flavour or personality though. Long bitter finish with heavy carbonation on the body. Not their best beer. Dorking do good traditional stuff but this is a bit average.

[44cl can from Lavershot Barns, Windlesham.] An unattractive hazy amber colour with a billowing cream head after a gushing pour; citrus aroma; fruity malt taste with a woody bitterness; and some pine resin and more malt to finish.
