The hops used are New World hops which in general provide a more intense flavour and aroma than their European counterparts. The hops are added in three stages. The first addition is for bitterness and is added at the start of the boil, the second is for flavour and is added 5 minutes from the end of the boil and the third is added once the boil has finished and provides the hop aroma without the mouth drying effect of dry-hopping.

Bottle from Vino Wines. Slightly hazy golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Nice lacing. Aroma of grass, lemon and biscuit. Flavour of grapefruit, straw and a dry, lemony finish. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. This has improved since I tried it over three years ago - the hop flavours are sharper and more ronounced.

Bottled. An amber beer with a yellowish hear. The aroma has notes of malt and honey. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and a bit of honey, leading to a dry hay-like finish.

Bottled (thanks cgarvieuk!). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, caramel, some wood and mild earthy notes. Flavour is fruity, caramelly, toasted and quite crisp malty. Pleasant and balanced.

33cl bottle. Pours a golden orange colour with not much bubbles but a generous head. The nose has pine and a faint note of grapefruit. The taste has a good sweet malt base and then oranges followed by the bitter pine finish. The palate has a medium body, a good creamy texture and a clean but not too astringent finish. A very well balanced IPA which could lead to several more.
