A blend of cascade, centennial and simcoe hops give this beer a citrus aroma and piney finish. Balanced but complex, this beer is a refreshing brew.

I just found my notes on this one. Sweet, here goes.
I had this in May 2013 and this was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy golden amber color with a nice two finger-ed head with a nice foamy fairly thick lacing.
The smell had a floral, citrus and herbal earthy bitter hoppiness.
The taste took all of these previously mentioned aromas and combined them into the flavoring and it sat fairly earthy altogether with an invading earthy bitter aftertaste that ends up leaving a dry finish.
On the palate, it sits about a medium on the body with a decent sessionable quality to it. The carbonation is fairly mediocre as there’s nothing harsh nor is there anything that causes me to think that its a bad beer at all.
Overall, I say this is a good English IPA worthy of coming back to if I’m ever able to have it again.

GBBF. Hazy amber beer, little pale cream coloured head. Smooth palate, fairly silky. Sweet hops - a little pine, trace of mint. Sweet pineapple and tangerine with lesser notes of mango and orange. Finishes semi dry. Just a sweet and tasty IPA, easy drinking.
