A triple hopped IPA that packs a whole tepee full of taste! and bristling with flavour from the blend of punchy aroma hops. Honey orange in colour, with aromas of mango and citrus rising to a pleasant and balanced bitterness. A dry finish that leaves you wanting more!

Bottle from Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Hazy golden. White, lasting head. Aroma is mostly grapefruit and bubblegum. After that, not good. Dry and soapy. Too much carbonation. All a bit artificial tasting. Poorest beer I’ve had from this brewer by a mile.

500ml bottle from the Crafty Pint, Darlington. Pours a hazy orange amber colour, thick foamy off-white head and aroma of tropical fruits, citrus hop, slight pine, yeast. Taste is malt caramel, tangy with light lemon & grapefruit citrus, and earthy lingering bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft to medium carbonation, warming dry bitter finish. Quite OK.

500ml bottle - a cloudy amber , ice-cream white head. Lots of citrus hops on this one, nose of grapefruit and kumquats and all those tropical notes you usually get from an APA. The expected bitterness is there, a harshness takes away the pleasantness of the finish, an acidic tartness is still there a few minutes after. Not my favourite by a long way in this style, but I’ll still quaff it...

Cask at Craft Beer Co, Clerkenwell on 13th October 2012. Hazy amber with thin white spot-lacing foam. Hoppy and fruity aroma. Richly fruity in-mouth, with some grapefruit, berries and plenty of bitterness. Big fruit fest late on with tangy citrus and Christmas berries . Aftertaste is lemon and orange zest, and herby. Zingy mouthfeel and a body slightly on the light side for given strength.

Cask at the Craft. Light haze on this amber beer, little white head. Light palate, semi dry. Smooth orange marmalade hops, trace of lemon. Not hugely hoppy but impressively smooth. A little floralness and a touch of bitter bubblegum ester. Dry finish.
