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!

Bottle from Morrisons. Label: Stiff Lip American IPA 5%. Pours a clear golden colour with a thinnish white head. Aromas of citrus, tropical fruit and a little peach. Taste has more citrus fruit, just a hint of tropical and peach and a big citrus rind bitterness on the finish. A little added peppery spice. Thinnish body and slightly oily mouthfeel. Bitterness a bit too harsh in my opinion. Just Ok.

Fra fat på Mossy Well Muswell Hill nov-18: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer. Deilig fruktighet både i aroma og smak - mild citrus, mango, citronskald, citrongræs og litt furunål. Spenstig, frisk bitterhed i afslutningen. Mersmak.

Keg at The Flying Horse, Gatwick S Terminal. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, lemon - lime, lemongrass, biscuit and toasty grain. The taste is crisp, bitter - sweet, toasty grain, biscuit malt base, pithy, lemon peel, straw, lemongrass, pepper, resin and metal with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A touch metallic and more malty than I would like. So-so.
