Sorta like an IPA, sorta not. Cascade, Magnum and Simco hops. Two-row, Carapils and Crystal malts. Very light, almost like a pils, but a bit more of a hoppy kick. Light enough for a hophead summer drink.
Sometimes brewed at 5% ABV.

Can thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden amber with a nice thin head. Nose - oranges, but also a tart red fruit. Resin. Taste - redcurrants, oranges on the end. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy palate and a long dry finish. Overall - this is good.

From a 355ml can on 9/8/2015 (Sorta IPA, 4.7%). Pours a slightly cloudy orange golden with a smallish head. The nose is relative modest, and quite sweet and fruity. In the mouth, there’s some bready and biscuity malt, and lots of sweet citrus fruit. There’s some bitterness there, but it’s an odd bitter - almost sour, with little typical IPA character to it. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Not terrible but it’s sorta weird and a bit too sweet. Falls well short of the best session IPAs out there.

Can courtesy of Peter Fowler of Shoulder of Mutton, (cheers Peter!) Consumed at Truck Festival, Steventon, Oxon, Saturday 18th July 2015 Hazy amber with a sticky head that’s white in colour. Caramel predominantly but with some hoppiness, mostly sweetish, the taste is ok but the expectations were somewhat higher than ok. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov11 3.0

Clear deep golden color with a fine white head. Rich caramel malty aroma and disappointing weak hoppy. Medium body and an average carbonation. Unbalanced sweetness versus bitterness. To sweet. Also way to much caramel malty flavor. Where did all that hopps they claim to have used go?

Can. Amber with an inch of white head. Aroma of boiled lollies, pine, menthol. Not that light-bodied (well it is 5%), moderate to high carbonation. Sweet and rather muddled with biscuit, sugar and some vague dried fruit, pine. Finish is fairly bitter and a bit medicinal. Getting towards unpleasant.

Can: Hazy amber with a thick off-white head. Orange-peel, slightly cheesy aroma. Taste is dull, orange-peel, a little bready/cardboard..... Not very enjoyable at all.

Appearance: Golden orange, clear. Nice amount of white head.
Aroma: Fruit, quite sweet. Sick?
Taste: Fruit, pretty smooth. Not much hops. Sessionable, though, but is it an IPA?
Bought: Beers of Europe, 355 ml can, £2.29

Many thanks to CH-303 for this can! Best before 29.08.2015. Floral fresh nose, lots of white head. The beer starts easy to drink, fresh and smooth. Not too bitter, not too intense floral. Easy to drink, fresh and smooth. The body is not too sweetish, fits in great. The aftertaste is very light, not too intense, hints of floralness with a moderate bitter aftertaste. Ok.
