Our flagship IPA has seen many reincarnations in its lifetime all with the same intention of making an easy drinking lower abv IPA. We’ve dialled it up and dialled it in to be softer and fuller with a peach and tangelo fruit profile.

From its thick pillowy head expect aromas of peach, oranges and a hint of sappy pine. Simcoe leads in our house IPA backed up with peachy esters from London ale iii yeast and citrus undertones from the Cascade and Waimea.

Cask at Craft 100 - Craft Beer Co. Clapham, London. Pours lightly hazy yellow with a creamy, white head. The nose holds lemon peel and straw. Light sweet flavour, minerally, with some pine needles, dry pale malts. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Dry on the finish, moderately piney, with more flinty mineral notes. OK.

Craft 100 at Craft Clapham. Cask. Clear deep gold beer, a few pale cream colour bubbles. Palate is light, dry and fairly crisp. Thin and somewhat grainy malts. Citric peel hops which run through the light dry finish and linger on. Simple stuff. Okay.

Cask at Craft 100. It pours clear amber with a small, bubbly white head. The aroma is soft, grainy, caramel, general soft fruit vibe and honey. The taste is crisp, bitter, earthy, oily, grassy, peppery spice, orange peel and cereal with a dry, spicy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Not a whole lot to this one. OK.

(Cask at Gallows Bird Real Ale Festival 2016) The beer poured deep golden and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had grass, fruitiness and malts. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grass, malts, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A good hoppy pale ale.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol. 17/12/2015. Golden in colour, with a decent, white, head. I’m with Fin on this one. Sweet and verging on the buttery, with some jammy fruits, heavy malts and a moderately bitter finish. Not good.

Keg consumed at Electric Bear Taproom, Friday 3rd February 2017 Pours hazy gold, this is a much better beer than I recall (see rating below) good bristly hoppiness, buzzy bitterness, dry, fruity, really good. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8 Bottle courtsey of Geraint and Helen (thanks you two!). Consumed at home Sunday 22nd November 2015 Golden in colour with a chill haze, a little white head atop. The label looks like a Partizan beer the taste soon dispels that happy thought. The Waimea and Cascade hops seem to have been used a tad sparingly, bitterness levels, crispness (despite the description) are disappointing. It’s too sweet and lacking a zippy, crisp bite, there is a little butter on the nose not a lot admittedly but noticeable. At best it’s ok, but overall I am unimpressed. A5 A3 T5 P3 Ov10 2.6
