Bottle picked up from Hereford Beer House, consumed at Isobel's Saturday 28th February 2026, listening to Giles Peterson on 6Music and helping Loz make a Pomegranate Potato and Dill Salad. Warm gold on the pour, light haze, slim/mid sized white head. Citrus and tropical flavours combine, there's a little piney edge but it's a bit shy, good beer but the previous two West Coast IPAs today were fantastic. Score 7.3

Can. Just misted pale amber with a large white head that never disappears. More grapefruit than kumquat aroma with light breadcrust and pine. Can't say I get much of a tropical note. Then it's like a lighter bodied Torpedo with less of a caramel feel. Snappy bitter finish. I still like Torpedo pretty well and this seems like exactly what they must have been trying to do.

Another solid IPA from Sierra Nevada. Bitter, piney. Clear golden pour with good pillow of head. Decent body despite relatively low abv on this one. Some grapefruit. Can from mixed case.

Outsized bitterness, with the Vic Secret hop minerality adding an almost medicinal slant to the finish. Modest notes of citrus and wine must and pine. Kinda weak sauce.

Bottle from a mix pack from Raley's in Woodland, CA. Pours orange tinged gold with a large foamy white head that laced. Aroma of tropicals, citrus and resin. Med body. Fairly dry. Nicely bitter. Flavor of melon, grapefruit, passion fruit and earth/resin. A nice flavor.
