English Hops through and through this crisp India Pale Ale. Pale ale using only Maris Otter barley. Dry hopped for an intense spicy hop aroma, sweet citrus fruit notes balance the bitter edge of hops, lingering and moreish.

(Cask at Bree Louise, Euston, London, 8 Aug 2010) Golden colour with brief, white head. Fruity nose with notes of grass, citrus and biscuity malt. Fruity, slightly biscuity taste with citrus, grass and a fairly dry finish with a zesty, citrussy bitterness. Rather light body, with balanced sweetness. Quite nice.

Cask (Guide Dog, Southampton) - Gold/amber in colour. Hops, tea and passion fruit in the aroma. Hoppy and refreshing taste with grapefruit and a hint of aniseed.

Cask@GBBF2010. Golden colour with small head. Aroma is grass, fruits, herbs and some mild caramel as well. Flavour is very similar, ending in a quite caramel/bready malty way.

From cask. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is fruity and hoppy. Crisp. Fruity and slight sweet flavoured. A bit floral from back of the tongue and with a little bitterness coming through. Ends dry and bitter.
