A tropical hop fuelled West Coast wanderer, the Armadillo transcends the ages, expect waves of zesty citrus rolling over local barley, giving a nod to the session ales of yesteryear, hop amplified for flavour, this is beer for the present day.

A light yellow, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has lime and some sweet mandarin, also hint of mangos and biscuits. Taste has strong citrus, enough of bitterness that stays long in the mouth with some pine. Light bodid, of course. Refreshning and succesfully.

Slightly hazy yellow, thin white head. Bitter, grassy aroma. Flavours of grass, lemon zest, bitter hop but for all that itβs pretty mellow. Lemon zest lingers in the aftertaste. Light, crisp, clean. Spot-on as a session IPA.

Bottle sample at a tasting at troublesβs place. Thanks tomer. Yellow-golden. Aroma of weird hops, kinda skunky and musty. Slightly sweetish flavor, grainy, with bitterish fruity hops, slightly skunky. Quite light-bodied. Smells weird, but the flavor is decent. Kinda refreshing.

Clitheroe Beer Festival 2016. Golden coloured ale. Has a fair tropical fruitiness in both aroma and taste, and easy enough drinking.
