Beer and coastlines. Condensation bleeding down the can, water washing over rocks. Our warm weather seasonal is pure Vallejo – west coast crisp, Carr’s® cracker clean, white grape jelly, under ripe peach, fastidious IPA that’s sure to unbutton every bit of tension you’ve been lugging around town. The warmth is close. Drag a four-pack out the water’s edge. Beer was invented for this.

Can at home from Grumpy Goat, 6th September 18. Pours a nice clear orange. Aroma is aromatic floral hops. Taste is clean and perfume hops, nice and bitter, pith and orange marmalade, grapefruit, bitter floral linger in the finish. Good stuff

Draft @ BBP. Dorée sur col épais blanc. Arôme met directement le doigt sur un bouquet américain classique IPA - belles notes tropicales rappelant la mandarine, résineux et léger effet grains. Pointe d'amertume se dégage. Palais est dank hops, sac de houblons avec un léger effet pin et résineux, note de mandarine et fruité tropical. Fini sec et finement herbacé, malté pils, fin pâle avec une amertume apparaissant comme noble.

Can. Almost clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Thin malts, mildly sweet and slightly grainy. Smooth pine. Little tangy orange peel. Touches of lemon and tangerine. Whisper of ripe mango. Light and slightly tangy bitter finish. Inoffensive but lacks a centre. Weak malt backbone and a slightly thin hops, yet still, somehow, okay.

Can from Cork & Cask. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange, tomato, watermelon, herbs and grapefruit. Flavour of menthol, orange and bitter hops. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. A clean, bitter IPA - like they all used to be a couple of years ago before the NE IPA craze. This is great.
