Big IPA with passionfruit and grapefruit tones on the nose and palate that give way to a subtle piney resinous finish, made all the more smooth and gentle by the use of Cryo hops which really do lift big beers to another level.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 8th January 2020. Hazy unfined gold with shallow white foam and plenty of lacing. Malty aroma with orange zest. Citrus peel in-mouth with tropical fruits. Slightly undone by a sub-welcome lactic touch, that lasts into the finish where it occupies the lions share of the palate, masking the juiciness of the ipa. Full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel.
