GBBF. Cask. Clear gold beer. Little white head. Light dry palate. Bitter resinous hop. Grapefruit, tangerine, touch of pineapple. Grassy bitterness. Dry finish and the bitterness turns marmaladey. Nice English IPA - if this had been put on the US bar it would have blended in seamlessly.

Bottle - Very sweet pine, sweet fresh orange. Mango and peach. All notably sweet! Very nice IPA.

Cask at GBBF 2011. It pours golden yellow, with a thick, fluffy white head. The nose is cheesy hop, grass, pine and floral. The taste is pine, honey sweetness, grapefruit, leather, resin, grass and hay, with a pleasantly bitter finish. Light to moderate body and soft carbonation. Nice balance. A good quality American-style IPA.

At GBBF 2011. Clear gold lasting off white head. Grapefruit hop aroma. Good ipa. If you didnt know it was English you would say it was usa. Hoppy as hell. Touch too sweet maybe and the alcohol is a little obvious and hot but the huge grapefruit lychee hop is amazing. God british ipa. Lively. Pink grapefruit is good. Very impressive american style ipa made in the uk
