New World Pale. Named after the old Kippen Grapevine, rumoured to be the largest in Europe at one time. Big tropical and citrus fruit flavours and aromas develop into a lasting bitterness that brings you back for more.

Medium offwhite head. Clear amber body. Fruity wooden dusty aroma. Dry-sweet resiny citric taste with roasty pineapple notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, mealy mouthfeel. Dryish fruity roasty dusty aftertaste with citric notes. The combination of flavours doesn’t quite work for me. The roasty goes poorly with the citric and fruity. (0.5l bottle, odd bins, Edinburgh.)

Cask @ Record Cafe, Bradford. Deep golden ale with a thick creamy head. Strong tasting but maintains plenty of tropical fruitiness in both its nose and taste.
