American IPA. Lots of people tell us how important hops are in beer but we prefer to take a more holistic approach and we think the malt has an equally important role to play even in a "hop forward" style such as this. So expect a solid base with a hint of toffee, weight of alcohol with elements of grapefruit, pine and peach in the aroma.

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, copper-ish, amber colour with average, thick, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Minimally nuttily malty aroma, a touch of pine. Taste is muttily malty, cautious hints of peanut and toffee, fruity hoppy overtones, hints of apricot and peach. Slightly sluggish, rather waveringly than holistic.
