We love brewing West Coast IPAs and appreciate how well they work in beautifully conditioned cask beer. Rattlesnake is a great example of this and its absolutely packed with classic hops from the USA, the aroma is all grapefruit and pine leading to a fantastic display of flavour across the palate with lemon, melon and lychee all coming to the fore. It's perfectly balanced with a malty sweetness in the body, and a refreshing bitter bite to finish.

Half-pint, well kept cask ale at The Wharf in Aalborg. A pearl white head over a close to clear amber coloured body. Dotted spots on the glass. Aroma of ripe citrus, mid-sweet. Taste of orange shells and caramel with nuances of berries, slightly marmalade impression. Rounded bittersweet ending. Fine depth. Tasty and likable. (15.08.2017).
