An initially dense white head leaves some lacing and dissipates rather quickly over a creamy, unfiltered grapefruit juice body. A vibrant nose of citrus fruit pulp and rind zest. The fresh fruit notes continue into the taste profile. Grapefruit, pomegranate, tangerine and a touch of ripe banana are all fresh and appealing. Hops add a touch of bitterness. The lactose sweetens and adds creaminess. The finishing tartness holds it all together.

A pure white head on a cloudy, translucent grapefruit juice body. The nose is classic North East IPA - fresh squeezed orange, mango, pineapple and grapefruit notes. the taste follows suit with a fresh, non-astringent medley of hop induced fruit accents - mango, pineapple, grapefruit and kiwi among them. The malt is sweet and understated. A slight IPA Soapiness and a hint of pepper. Medium bodied with a slightly slick mouth feel. Solid effervescence. Really well done.

Wasn’t impressed the first time around so left a bottle in the cellar for 8 months. A touch richer and more complete now, but still hitting my BW favs list. A good looking beer with a well laced off-white head on a dense ruby/caramel body. The nose is understated with hints of butterscotch, malt and butter. Butterscotch, some dark fruit and cherries along with some earthy hops. Taste is still a tad thin with a slightly metallic edge to the finish.

A thin fluffy white head on an amber body. Nose features pine resin, melon and mild brett yeast. Some nice balances and craft in this one. The funk is understated but quite present. Sweet bready malt underpins it all with citrus, citrus rind and grassy elements in the hop profile. A hint of cherry and melon in the finish along with a peach accent. Nicely done

A pure white head on a lemon/straw body. Nose is a bit of a muddle with some citrus, herbs and grassy hops. The taste features sweet malt, some citrus and tropical fruit, grassy and earthy hops and mineral water.

Pop the top and you get a blast of lemon zest and lemon tea, and as advertised it carries over into the taste profile. A really dense and murky light tan body with a low but well laced white head. Big fresh tastes here. Lemon cream, lemon zest, popping ice tea and a touch of orange. Slightly acidic with a touch of soap and sourness. Refreshing indeed, but no pushover.

A solid well laced white head on a classic bicycle unfiltered body. Nose has grain, lemon and honey. A solid drinkable pale ale. Tonnes of roasted grains, honey and biscuit malt. Rich and tasty.

Definitely the punchiest citrus-based IPA from the Bicycle folks. A well-laced pillowy white head on an unfiltered light caramel body. The nose is citrus and pine hops with a hint of honey. Trying it straight up with the Velocipede IPA highlights the strengths of this 6.6% ABV (not 5.3%) IPA. Fresh Pine, punchy grapefruit and orange are lead elements in the hop profile. A solid density, appropriate carbonation and a touch of honey in the malt all balance well. Really tasty.

A full, well laced tan head on a near black body. The nose is understated with light, roasted coffee, chocolate and a touch of cream. This IS is very drinkable and well balanced, but suffers a bit from an absence of big dynamic taste elements. Slightly roasted malt, mild coffee and cocao are the primary taste elements. Butter, a touch of vegetal earthiness and a slight metallic element in the finish round out the taste experience.

An ample, well laced white head on a relatively clear (for Bicycle) straw coloured body. The nose has a nice fresh punch to it, featuring grapefruit and other citrus elements. The taste is as advertised - juicy and fresh Simcoe fruitiness with subtle and sweet biscuit malt. The hop notes are pleasant and non-astringent. Grapefruit, lemon and some tropical hints blend well with the malt. Touches of IPA soapiness and pepper round out the taste profile. Mid-ranch body and effervescence. A clean finish and an easy drink.
