Citrus IPA
Bright and tropical, this India Pale Ale brilliantly layers a citrusy blend of orange and tangerine with a robust hop profile. Crafted with real citrus and packed with as much flavor as a hop cooler, you won’t be able to stop at just one sip of this fresh and fruity beer.

Cask at GBBF 2016. It pours clear rich golden with a small, bubbly white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy nectarine, grapefruit, orange sherbet, candied peel, perfumed and some oiliness. The taste is slick, bitter, oily, juicy, peppery, orange sherbet, nectarine and honey suckle. Medium body, fine carbonation and oily mouth - feel. Pretty decent.

Very hazy orange - gold beer, good cream coloured head. Airy creamy malts. Fairly smooth hop skunk. Pine. Mild hop spice. Bitterish orange peel and then a little fresh orange. Light finish. Strong bitter linger. Decent IPA but it never really shines.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with hints of copper along with a nice, three centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of citrus (no surprise there!), malt, fresh grassy and herbal hops and a good deal more of the refreshing orange and lemon notes. Medium-bodied; Assertive citrus and grassy flavours dominate with the oranges and lemons the strongest, but the hop bitterness, almost as equal in presence. Aftertaste shows a rich complexity with a great balance, given that the malt shows through nicely. Overall, a very nice citrus-based IPA with a great complexity and smooth finish with a good deal of bitterness. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Fair Lakes (Fairfax), Virginia on 18-July-2016 sampled at home in Washington a week later.

Sample at the taproom. Slightly cloudy orange-copper color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily to a film. Stringy lacing. Citrus, hops and malt aroma. Medium body with flavors of citrus, piney hops and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

Cask at GBBF 2016, Olympia, London. A golden/amber coloured pour with a thin white head on top. Hoppy, orange, caramel aroma. Tastes the same, hoppy, orange, caramel, slightly sweet. Incredibly easy to drink, nice IPA.
