Mosaic, Summit, Cascade, Pilot and Azacca hops join forces to Hopfather some seriously hoppy clout. This session IPA also boasts a new vibrant gold colour together with subtle malt overtones, zesty fruit flavours and a refreshingly crisp finish. Hats off to a top brew!

18/6/2019. Cask at the Pelican Inn, Gloucester. Pours clear golden with a small creamy white head. Aroma of hops, fruit, grass, flowers and sweet malt. Medium sweetness and light to moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily and watery texture, soft carbonation. Fresh and nicely drinkable.

Cask at the Gatehouse Tavern, Coventry on 29th October 2018. Gold with shallow off-white foam affording full lacing. Rich and intense fruity hoppiness In aroma. Tangy fruits in-mouth with just a tiny hint of salt which really works. A full, fruity finish. Zingy mouthfeel and a lot of body. Superb and moreish.

Bottle at home from Laithwaite. A lovely deep red on the pour and a pleasant head. This beer was all about the malts and they rightly dominated the taste. There were some hops, but not any where near the number I was expecting from the blurb on the bottle. It was pleasant, but quite underwhelming.

Hand-pulled half-pint in The Pheasant, Wellington Shropshire on 18th Feb 2017. Clear amber body, beige head with lacing. Piney hops on a malty, toffee base, the finish was dry as the hops took over again after the toffee flavours faded in each sip.

Cask-conditioned at the Pelican, Gloucester May 2016. Deep brown in colour, with a decent, off-white, head. Sweetish, berry fruits, plenty of leafy hops, bready malts, leading to a lengthy, bitter, finish. Enjoyable.
