This brite amber ale is perfectly balanced with aromas of pine and citrus, resinous hops, a touch of tropical fruit and caramel malt notes. Followed by a bracing bitterness (53 IBUs) and a refreshingly long finish to set you up for another gulp.

Can at home, picked up from the bottle shop on Newcastle station, 13/07/2025.
Moderately hazed orange amber topped with a lasting light egg shell white cap - not very WC looking!
Nose is bitter orange, grass, straw, light herb.
Taste comprises grapefruit, grass, bitter orange, light pine nip, melon.
Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close spiked with light juicy come grassy hop bitterness.
Not bad but looks nothing like a WC IPA!

Can from the Brewis Taproom. Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Aromas of light lemon and grapefruit. Taste adds pine. Light bitter finish.

Clear golden with a white head, big aroma of zesty, grassy hop. Flavour follows suit. Lemon, grapefruit, a bit of resinous pine too. Mice bittersweet finish. Tastes it's strength without overdoing it.
