ABV: 2.9% IBU: - Ticks: 5
A tiny IPA packed with big IPA levels of late and dry hops to punch above its weight. Careful use of malts help to aid mouthfeel helping this pale ale to taste fuller than the abv suggests and provide a great base for the punchy hops.

Sample thanks to Grumbo: Poured a hazy yellow with a white fluffy head. Aroma is dank hops, piney. Taste is bitter hops, fruity, some aloe, lingers around the palate like a big boy IPA.

Can from Beers of Europe. Appearance - yellow with a very slight haze. Big fluffy head. Nose - pine, grapefruit and lemon. Wholemeal and white pepper underneath. Taste - more citrus and pith too. Again underlying wholemeal thing. Palate - light bodied as expected given the ABV. But not as thin as expected. Overall - not bad given alcohol level.

19/1/2021. Re-rate. Can bought direct from the brewery. Pours hazy/cloudy pale orange gold with a frothy white head. Much better than what I had at Ely a year ago. Hoppy citrus grassy aroma, nice bittersweet taste. A very drinkable micro IPA. 17/01/2020. Cask at the 11th Elysian Winter Beer Festival. Pours cloudy dull pale yellow gold with a bubbly white head. Aroma of stewed fruit and veg and boiled sweets. Medium sweetness and light to moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily and watery texture, soft carbonation. Not up to the usual standard for an Ampersand beer (which originally scored 5252-8=2.2).

Gravity cask at the 2019 CAMRA Rutland Beer Festival, Rutland County Museum. Orange/gold and very hazy with a thin layer of loose white head. The aroma is muted, and whispers suggestions of melon, pineapple and grapefruit onto the nose. The taste is sweet, creamy and hoppy with more melon and a doughy/fruity interplay. Thin body, but that's not a surprise considering the ABV. A lot of flavour and character packed into this sessioner.
