Our American style IPA is fittingly strong and brash, unleashing full-on flavour. Washington native hops Willamette and Simcoe take centre stage to deliver a symphony of spicy floral bitterness, supported by a sweet malty backbone.

Hand pulled half pint in the Thomas Botfield on Sunday 8th March 2026. Didn't take to this at all, might have been too long since it was broached. Clear and clean golden body, white head that left some lacing as the beer level fell. The citrusy hops left a floral aftertaste and the malt content didn't add much to the flavours. Just the wrong beer at the wrong time for me. Scored kindly!

Cask at Briar Rose, Birmingham. This one was surprisingly good. A nice fruitiness with citrus and zest notes, pale malt, some pine and spicy hop. Very smooth medium body with great lacing.

Cask at Thomas Leaper, Derby. Pours a hazy, slow to settle, bitter brown with minimal off-white head and good lacing. Autumn fruits and malts in the aroma. In the mouth, the immediate sensation is of how sweet and watery it is. There are some autumn fruits, butter and apricots. After a while, floral hops and traces of ginger start to appear. The finish is surprisingly dry and spicy. It’s a bit of a strange IPA – may take some getting used to.
