Hoppy, sessionable IPA packed with resinous West Coast hops. Our best selling beer. Mosaic and Chinook do the talking here.

Hazy/cloudy gold with a bubbly white head and a lemony nose, with maybe a hint of resinous hops. Fizzy and cold, citrus hops a-go-go with just a touch of pine maybe, and a dry bitter finish

440ml can: BB 12th November 2024. Drank at my dad's on 30th January 2024. Light golden orange, hazy with a white head. Nice, easy blend of citrussy and piney hops with a decent bitterness; not a lot of malt action.

440ml can at Kongs, Cardiff. Hazy light to mid-gold with a bit fluffy white head. Tangerine, grassy aromas, some notes of pine. Sweet taste, more citrus and grassy elements leading to a gorgeous balance in the finish with just a suggestion if astringency. Hallelujah this is nice.

8/8/2019. Cask at the 2019 Great British Beer Festival. Pours hazy/cloudy pale golden orange with a bubbly/frothy off-white head. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruit, hops, resin and flowers. Medium plus sweetness, light to moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Nice floral fruity finish. Decent brew.
