Keg from The Beerhive. Clear amber body with a medium off-white head. Lively carbonation. Great lacing. Aroma of floral hops, caramel and apple. Flavour of orange, peach, grass and lightly roasted malt. Medium body with an oily texture. Fizzy. Maltier than most other IPAs but the end result is an incredibly well balanced beer.

12th Dec 2014: one of the twenty two taps in Galopper des Jahres, Hamburg during a tap takeover. This was recommended to me by a guy from Gutersloh who had come over for two days just for the event. He said it was the best IPA produced in Germany at the moment: he was probably right. Misty golden pour with a white top. Good balance of hops , reminded me of a few West Coast (USA) brews, bitter, yet flavoursome. Fruity, with both citrus sourness and sweeter tropical notes. Easy drinking and certainly very un-German in nature (at this time).

Keg at the Euston Tap, 15/12/14. Clear golden amber with a decent off white covering. Nose is malt forward, caramel, melon, bread dough, light citric notes. Taste comprises caramel malt, sweet licks, candyfloss, tangerine, bubblegum, peach. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Not unpleasant but a pretty low end malt driven IPA for me, lacks hops and any wow factor.

Smell of hops, citrus. Hazy, deep amber colour, high white head. Aroma of hops, spruce, orange peel, some earth. Starts out very bitter, evens out a bit to slightly sweet. Oily texture. Flat carbon. Nicely balanced.

Lovely hazy orange gold color with a fine white head. Nice aroma with fresh grapefruit and a bit tropical fruity. Nice body and a fine balance between bitterness and sweetness. Average carbonation. Powerful citric hoppy, mellow fruity and a fine malty back. Lovely ale!
