A North Yorks version of the US West Coast hop-forward IPA. Bitterness is balanced by malt sweetness in our IPA and dry-hopping rounds out the aroma. Multiple hop types in this one, to justify the 'sunshine-in-a-glass' claim. Just what you need to brighten a grey winter (or even summer!) day!

From keg at Furley & Co, Hull, East Yorkshire, with OGJ 05.01.18. Clear orange. Dense and persistent off-white head and lacing. Fine aroma and taste of Sevilla marmalade, malt and sweet citrus. Medium citrus bitterness is lingering on.

Cask at The White Swan, shared with ManVsBeer. Nitro creamy, beige head. Next to clear amber body. Spotty lacing. Mid-sweet caramel malts, hints of fruits. Malt-fruity flavours of caramel, apricot, and marmalade. Citrus shells to the ending. Medium bodied. Soft in the mouth. Tasty. (Leeds 06.07.2017).

Bottle from that shop in Malton. Golden with a decent head. Pine and grapefruit on the nose. Orange and apricot at the back. More orange and grapefruit on the taste. Light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Decent.
