The true West Coast IPA, in which its lovely honeyed colour
brings notes with it of its resinous sweet malt layering, giving this beer a big backdrop with a
lile chewy laquer - but from there, its all about the hops. This is about big grapefruit, huge
doses of zesty lime & tangerine peel, pine needle-woodland oor and a pithy, biting edge.
A ready herbal bierness pulls back the sweeter malt and refreshes things and the nish is
bracing and clean with extremely muted esters

Keg at the Smithfield Market Tavern, MCR, 17/05/2025.
Clear golden amber with a lasting light egg shell white head.
Nose is orange zest, grass, pine needle, melon.
Taste comprises grapefruit, pine, caramel, citric tinged straw.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with light juicy hop bitterness. Okay old skool leaning affair.

Keg @ Mackie Mayor, Manchester, aka Jack In The Box. Clear golden with a head. Hopped with some champagne style notes in the mix. Fairly undistinguished though.
