A full bodied, challenging WC IPA. Loads of pine and grapefruit coat the tongue, with a little honey and stone fruit poking out. Delicious.

500ml can from brewery. Hazy gold. Pineapple nose. Slight chewy. Wonderful full fruit flavours with just a touch of resin (no burn).

Can, packed 7 September. Moderately hazy yellow with a white head. Rather wit-like. Aroma of pineapple, mango, gooseberries, crackers, lime leaf. Light bodied. Fruity and dryish with an odd soda water touch and a very brief moderately bitter dryish finish. The aroma seems slightly shy at first but builds somehow - it's lovely. But it's far too profligate with the alcohol.

Can. Hazy golden. Appropriately citrusy. Passionfruit aplenty. Very very easy drinking.

500ml can from brewery. Hazy yellow. Pineapple and passionfruit nose. Same flavours plus loads of creamy mouthfeel. Very impressive.

Can from brewery. Deep, deep red. Surprisingly subdued nose. Just a sniff of pine needles. Pretty standard red IPA. Caramel, some resin. I expected bigger.

Can from brewery. Hazy golden. Some orange and apricot on nose. Certainly fruity, with a little bit of pine in the back end. Nowhere near as 'big' as I expected. Balanced.

Can from brewery. Deep gold. Little bit of pine on nose. Resinous and, again, old school IPAness. Very reliable brewers.

500ml can. Big and piney in terms of aroma and flavours. Resins abound. So wonderfully old school. Hard to fault in terms of intention.

Can from brewery. Black. Burnt toast nose. Dry, toasty. A little bitterness. A style I still love.
