Double Header matches are common in the MLB. Quite a common New World IPA taste here with strength slightly more dominant than its tropical fruitiness, which is very much on the sticky-sweet side in this brew. Not a bad effort from a brewer that usually churns out regulars beers en-mass for its pub estate. Hazy golden appearance.

Golden amber with a frothy / creamy white head and toffee malt and mellow dark fruit aroma. Smooth and creamy with sweet malt, some dark fruits and hedgerow hops, finishes dry and very slightly bitter.
