A superb India Pale Ale, this contains plenty of hops which make for a surprisingly sweet flavour and floral aroma.

500ml bottle. Pours lightly hazed deep golden with a minimal white head. Aroma: not great, perhaps some light citrus. Taste: dry with moderate bitterness, lemon, some caramel, soapy. Light bodied, minimal carb, dry bitter finish. This neither looks great or tastes great, hope it’s better on cask!

Bottle from R Triggs, Lizard, Cornwall. Dry in the palate with very little flavour released in its finish. A big disappointment.

bottle from Darts Farm Topsham Exeter (08/2010). Clear deep golden with a touch of brown. Balanced malt and hop flavours, not much different from a Best Bitter.

50cl bottle from the Hogs Back Brewery Shop. Hazy gold, despite careful pouring, with a trace of white head; lemony aroma; oily texture with a sweet citrus flavour over light malts. OK, but nothing special.
