A traditional India Pale Ale with an appealing hoppy aroma of bitter oranges to start followed by a big hoppy taste packed with bitter resins. It is nicely balanced, with just enough sweetnesss to counter robust hops. Dry and very hoppy to finish.

Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Pours a clear dark gold to amber colour, small white head, little retention. Aroma of damp cardboard, some biscuit and floral hop. Taste of biscuit and citrus with a bitter and spicy finish. There is still a cardboard staleness to it though. Near medium bodied, oily. Poor malt profile, decent crisp bite and spice in the hop finish.

Third by cask at GBBF Winter, Jewellers' Bar. Shared with Finn. Bright golden-brown body, naked surface, scattered lacing. Moderate smell of ripe orange fruit. Juicy malts and orange to the taste profile. Ending moments of citrus shells. Satisfying. (Birmingham 05.02.2020).
