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.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from Beermerchants. Pours clear copper-gold with a frothy, white head. The nose has toasted graham crackers, caramel, leaves, ripe citrus. Medium sweet flavor with lots of toasty, grainy malts, brown bread, leafy hops, some grassy and earthy bitterness, a bit of oxidation, caramel, tobacco. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish with very subtle tangy berries, some dirty leaves, berry seeds, orange rind, pine. There are a few nice elements in here but overall it’s just not that drinkable.

Bottle from The Strand off licence Walmer. Hazy russet colour thick lasting beige head. American grapefruit hop aroma. OK soft malt, some sweetness, some toffee. Good grapefruit. Some crystal malt unfortunately. It’s ok but the crystal malt is not pleasant nor necessary. Otherwise, nice hops.
