Hazy gold beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent carbonation. Fluffy sweet malts, some creamy sweetness. Tangy tangerine, trace of mango and a little pine. Smooth finish. Tidy IPA, could do with a little more muscle.

Bottle at home, 17/04/17. Golden amber with a well appointed off white head that retains well. Nose is tangerine, straw, toasted bread, grains, light floral notes, light hop tones. Taste comprises melon, light pine, orange pith, straw, bread dough, grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close doused with hop bitterness. Passable IPA but rather pedestrian in this day and age of IPA’s in the UK.

Clear amber color, small steady white head and some lace. A bit oddly tropical fruity kiwi, passion fruit, candy aroma. Light to medium-bodied. Pale malts, tropical fruits, riped passion fruit and peach dominate, some citrus and then spicey hoppy finish. Quite sweetish fruity IPA. Tolerable.

Bottle thanks to cgarvieuk dregs run. Appearance - lovely amber with a decent fluffy head. Nose - dried and bitter red fruit. This is against a toffee and biscuit background. Taste - orange and toffee somehow beautifully intermingled. Palate - confirmed. Dry biscuit finish. Overall - I think we’re getting into ESB territory here.

Bottle. Golden-amber with a haze through a fair carbonation, that creates some activity in the palate, also with a bubbly-frothy head. Its aroma is citrus with lemon, grapefruit and a hint of pineapple, with the latter a little more prevalent in its aftertaste. Slightly dry tasting there’s a decent, light tropical fruitiness here. Its strength is not that evident.
