Golden Citra Hopped IPA.
Knee Buckler is a wonderfully golden IPA style beer. At 5.2% there is good strength and lots of initial hop bitterness which is matched with a little hint of sweetness from the use of Crystal and Caramalts, The aftertaste and aroma comes from a blend of American hops, Citra, Cascade and Columbus which gives a distinct fruity finish.

500ml bottle on 16th Jan 2017 in the Wetherspoons airside at John Lennon airport, Liverpool. Amber pour, thin white head. Citrus led aroma and taste (blame the hops). Actually it was OK, but I preferred the cask Gold and bottle of Red Rocks (both from Peerless) I had before this.

Gravity cask at the Murderers, Norwich. Deep gold, pretty much flat. Gluey malt and earthy/fruity hop in the aroma. Simple but enticing bitter taste. A hint of astringency in the long finish. An unsubtle but enjoyable beer.

Taste comprises melon, light grapefruit, toasted bread, citric tinged straw, orange pith. Medium body, soft carbonation, semi drying close with a juicy hop shot. Respectable hoppy cask number.
