The big little beer. Big on flavour, easy on abv. Distinctive American hop character. Depth and body from the rye. Be surprised, be happy.

Can split at Eebria, 11/03/17. Hazed golden orange with a well appointed off white head. Nose is orange pith, melon, straw, lemon drizzle. Taste comprises bread dough, melon, light pine whisper, toasted malts, orange peel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with earthy hop bitterness. Respectable enough sessioner.

Murky yellow color big stable and persistent white -head. Big hops smack, light malt backing, maybe some wheat and corn. American and english hops, citrus tones, some tropical fruit. Pine resn Taste bitter, light body, average carb. Light alcohol IPA, very nice and refreshing, on summer would be an hit. Song bitter finish, quite heavy on the throat, unexpected. Good.

Keg at the Cambridge Blue. It’s dark gold, hazy, with lots of visible carbonation. Thin layer of white head on top. Bags of grapefruit and papaya on the nose. Bittersweet taste with pronounced hop character. Sweeter near the end, but the finish has a marked bitterness. Tropical fruit in the aftertaste. Very well done, a winner of a sesh IPA.
