Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Clapton Craft. So it must be said, I have sat on this can for about three weeks - for you see, I think a lot of Boxcar comes a bit raw out the gates. If this beer were great out the gates, great, but it is excellent so I can only assume the waiting was for good. It pours impressively clear with a frothy, pure white head. It's one of those refreshing modern IPAs that straddles the line between haze and WC. Has moderate sweetness, tropical fruits, mellow pine, papaya, tangerine, some rindy bitterness, pale bread. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Well balanced finish, almost crisp, with more tidy pale bread, tangerine rind, nips of pine and grapefruit. Overall, it's a great beer.

Can from Elusive Brewery. Malty grainy aroma with a sour tang. Some cloudiness to the amber body. Creamy foamy off-white head. Light bitter. Sour edge gains prominence. Underlying caramel sweetness with spice. As I drink more it gets very jammy. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Dry astringent finish. A decent bitter.

Translucent, but surprisingly hoppy, sharp citrus goodness
