Resinous and fruity, hoppy aroma, sweaty hints of overripe tropical fruit, mango, passion fruit. Taste is bitter hoppy, slightly grainy and chalky, a slightly sweaty, resinous touch.

Bottle from Oddbins. Hazy amber body with a thin off-white head that holds well. Low carbonation. Nice lacing. Aroma of crumbled Digestive biscuits, caramel and mango. Murky flavours of earth, caramel, musty citrus and minerals. Medium body with a creamy texture. Almost completely flat. A muddled IPA. Not bad.

On tap at Sebright Arms, Bethnal Green, Sunday 20th April 2014 Aroma is mouldering lemons. Soft in mouth, zappy, lemony, fruity but also soft yet another winner from Rocky Head. Of all of the London Micros, Rocky Head seem content to plough their own furrow, knocking out great beers without making a song and dance about it. Loving this. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Bottle in Gabrovo, Bulgaria - picked up from Oddbins London Bridge. Pours lightly hazy gold, highly effervescent, with a lively, frothy off-white head. The aroma has lots of jammy citrus fruits, some orange, general marmalade, some dry minerals, suggestions of bread and earthy pine. Medium sweet flavor with lightly toasted bready malts, assertive bitter pine, more flinty minerality, some leaves, orange rind, more overarching jammy citrus fruits. Medium bodied with average to heavy carbonation. Finishes with mild hoppy resins, pine oils, dried citrus, toasted pale malts, rocks, dirty leaves, pithy orange. Not an especially clean IPA - it’s got a lot of dirty leaf and pine bitterness and that jammy citrus - but it isn’t bad overall.

Bottle at home, from Oddbins LB, 13/04/14. Almost clear golden with a big old off white head formed of bubbles. Nose is citric sherbets, orange pith, light spice, toasty malt, grapefruit peel, juicy hop ring, light earthy minerals. Taste comprises earthy hops, big mineral bite Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close laced with chalky minerals and light spice. Nice earthy IPA, lots of mineral bite, this one grew one me, very frefreshing after mowing the lawn! I like mineral forward APA’s/IPA’s but not to everyones taste I realise!

Bottle from Oddbins. It pours hazy orange-amber with a thick beige head. The nose is orange, tangerine, sherbet, earthy, dough and urine. The taste is bitter, pine needles, earth, dirt, grapefruit, biscuit and resin with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not the cleanest or most balanced IPA out there, but not bad.

Bottle from Oddbins London. Hazy dark amber lasting ivory head. Touch of diacetyl and hops on the aroma. Some orange fruit in the mouth and the finish is ok orange flavour with some hop, but too much diacetyl for me. Settles down a bit. Some decent orange fruits. About ok. Still not a great IPA.

Hazy deep gold beer, small pale cream coloured head. Palate is crisp and dry. Light toffee in the airy creamy malt. Orange peel bitterness from the hops, touches of floralness and lemon. Dry finish.
