Bottle. Rich amber beer with a cream head. Malt and light grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and light malt flavor. Medium bodied. Decent-good bitterness. Light grapefruit and light caramel linger.

Pours hazy dark amber with a thick white head. Aroma of bread and yeast hinted with hop elements. Taste has sweet malt elements, a subtle element of molasses with citrusy hops. Palate has bread and nutty nose hints that are hard to miss. Pretty interesting.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Epsom Circle Market (updated 3/30/19 from Julios Liquors). Aroma is vague citrus dominated by malty bread backbone. Appearance is cloudy gold with a fair amount of sediment in suspension, even without pouring out the last sixth of the can. Finger-width off-white head with poor retention and minimal lacing, occasional large bubble. Taste is moderately sweet caramel malt base with mild citrus. Palate is light bodied with thin, smooth texture and lively carbonation (a little sting). Overall, the appearance really detracts from the overall experience. Better to just drink it out of the can so you never have to look at it. Even so, the aroma and taste aren't really true to an IPA so you're probably better off avoiding unless you're looking for something more APA-like. Skip.

Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours golden - amber with a small white head. The nose is sweet, sticky, juicy, oily, peach, apricot, earthy and candy. The taste is bitter - sweet, oily, earthy, apricot, nectarine, peppercorn, light alcohol and toasted grass with a dry, warming finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Oily mouth - feel. Simple, but not bad.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2015 day 1. Light haze, golden orange coloured pour with a lasting loose off white head. Aroma is light pine needle hop, little caramel. Flavour is grassy, piney hop, light caramel, biscuits malt. Palate is semi sweet, moderate carbonation, goof condition.

Pours from a tap a cloud amber with thin off white head. Aroma is a rather thin floral, and flavor is a lackadaisical citrus with little maltiness to speak of.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance has a hazy copper orange body that leaves a one finger foamy white head that lasts for a good minute before gently dieing into the body. The body is too hazy for any carbonation to be seen rising. Some mild spotty foamy lacing coats the pint glass.
The smell has some light citrus, hops and malts combined very nicely.
The taste is mostly the same adding a nice extra lingering sweetness.
On the palate, she sits about a medium with nothing harsh on the tongue. I would say this is a fairly sessionable beer.
Overall, this is a pretty good English IPA, good for the style and good for me.

Vielen Dank an Micha für der Import des Bieres! Schöner 64oz-growler. Ein unfiltriertes, unpasteurisiertes Bier. Die Farbe ist leicht orange-trüb mit schönem leicht beigen Schaum. Der Geruch ist schön fruchtig, der Antrunk genau wie der Geruch - schöne gelbe Fruchtaromen, leichte Hefetöne, die sich im Hauptteil noch verstärken. Leichte Orangenoten. Das Bier ist toll fruchtig und leicht säuerlich. Zum Nachgeschmack kommt die typische Ale-Herbe hinzu, die sich auch im Hintergrund bis in den letzten Teil des mittellangen Nachgeschmacks hinein hält. Sehr süffig und sehr angenehm zu trinken.
--> Ein tolles, fruchtiges Bier. Angenehm herb-süß. Lecker! (30.9.2008) --> Noten: 12,11,12,12,12,12 - 11,85
