From a 650ml bottle on 26/1/2015. Pours a slightly cloudy golden with a small head. Has a gorgeous floral, fruity nose with some definite west coast IPA elements to it. Take a sip and it’s clear you’re dealing with something special. There’s oodles of lovely tropical, stone and citrus fruit sweetness (mango, peach, apricot and mandarin), along with the promised kaffir lime leaves, and a big, firm grapefruity hop bitterness. Tha palate is exquisite - silky and syrupy, with the modest carbonation spot on in the circumstances. This is seriously one on the best pale ales you’ll ever try. Super complex and moreish, it actually manages to leave many IPAs in the shade in terms of flavour, balance and character. A truly sensational brew.

Crisp and clean with a good hop profile. Has some nice character building dough tones to hold up those spicy hops. Quite enjoyable.

A rather standard California common. Has nice sweet fruits. This is a round for round brew. What it lacks in standard GP POW! it more than makes up with in drinkablility.

A mildly grainy profile with hop notes and grapes underneath. I enjoyed this one more than the other grape brew they put on. Could have a glass of this one.

An interesting concoction. Red in color. Full of grape and vinous flavor. Sweet. Fun. One is enough for me, though.

This is a beast. Strong citrus hops and equally strong malt profile. Plenty of sweet caramel. Good brew.

Citrus and floral notes bombard the senses only to have herbal hops sucker punch you in the back. Decent amount of caramel sweetness to boost the Abv. Has that dry hopped profile, too. Good.

Easy going stout. Toasty chocolate. A bit bittersweet. Not out of the ordinary but solid. Lightly bittersweet.
