Can from Against The Grain. Golden body with a light haze and an off-white head. No visible carbonation. Aroma of orange peel and melon rind. Flavour of papery malt and white pepper with a bitter finish. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. It’s a solid west coast IPA but doesn’t have the wow factor.

Cask gravity at LHG Brewpub Bristol. Hazy russet colour lasting beige head. Wonderfully hoppy beer. The hops burst out oif the glass. Its stunning. Intense hops. But balanced. So good. Lovely red ipa. So tasty. Full of west coast hops flavours and then some spicy red rye malt flavour. Outstanding.

Can from Hop Burns and Black. Pours a murky amber with a short off-white head that recedes. My blocked nose probably didn't help matters, but still got good going pine and bramble on the nose, a little orange, some dark malt notes. Light-medium sweetness, complex bitterness that moves through phases - initial citrus gives way to strong woody hops, then a dry bitter finish that's pretty clean. Gently prickly carbonation, medium body, slightly astringent but not unpleasant finish. Pretty decent.

Can from Bottle & Stoat, Southampton. Clear if slightly opaque gold. Thin foamy white head. Aroma has soft juicy citrus and a slight bitterness over doughy malts and yeast. Flavourwise it's sweet and malty. Then develops a bitterness - herbal and citrus. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft pillowy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice.
