A pale IPA style beer, heavily dry hopped with a multitude of New World hops to give pleasant citrus and apricot flavours.

Old rating - A 500ml bottle brought at the Brunswick Inn late last year on my Derby trip & brought back to Jersey. Pours a amber colour with a white head. Aromas & tastes of citrus, tropical fruits, apricots & new world hops. Incorrectly added here as a blonde / golden, very much as the brewery says a New World IPA & very well made too!

Cask @ Fox And Goose, Hebden Bridge. Clear golden with a frothy-bubbly head. Good water here provides quite a smooth texture brew. It's nicely hoppy too and easy enough given the aforementioned.

Cask at the brewery. Pours a pale gold with minimal white head. There’s marmalade and lemongrass in the aroma, plus some hints of malts. In the mouth it is sharp and tangy but with an overall juicy sweetness. Flavour starts off with tangerine and melon but quickly progresses to citrus and traditional hops, These become quite dominant in the finish. Not quite sure what to make of this one – but in the end I think the good features outweighed the bad. Definitely an IPA not a pale (maybe a Session IPA?)
