A West Coast style IPA brewed with five different American and new-world hop varieties for a multisensory hop experience. Late dry hopping with Simcoe & US Cascade brings a wave of delicious tropical fruit flavours which crash onto the palette with a pleasingly bitter finish that has been known to stiffen the lip – pucker up!

Cask at Goodman's Friend (JDW), Shared with Finn. Dotted spots on the glass from a low white head, hazy golden body. Moderate smell of grassy hops with a citric scent. Quite succulent citrus taste, moments of lemon and orange. Hints of fresh fruity bitterness to the ending. Crispy. Pretty decent. (Aldgate, London 10.02.2023).

Delt med Rune. Gylden. Litt uklar. Filmskum. Forsiktig sitrusaroma. Smaken syrlig frukt. Hint av fersken. Tørr bitter avslutning. Frisk!

500ml Bottle from Sainsbury's. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, white head and moderate carbonation. Tangerine fruit and citrus hop aroma. Flavour had some robust, chewy, malts, more orange fruit, and a finish that was lingering and pretty dry. good.

Hand-pulled half-pint at The Crown Inn, Oakengates during a beer festival on 30th April 2022. Decent white head on a clean deep golden body. Malty front, light citrus notes to follow, nice!
