Clear bright amber beer, good size off white fluffy head. Crispy palate. minerals. A little creamy malt. Mildly bitter tangerine - orange giving way to sweeter tangerine and then quite a bitter minerally finish. Nice but could do with more intensity.

500mL bottle, enjoyed immediately after purchase, pours a clear copper / bronze with a small off-white head. Aroma of floral hops predominantly, grass, a bit of citrus and a crackery malt backing. Flavour brings out dry notes of grassy and floral hops, citrus and a substantial crackery / biscuity malt backing. Quite a dry, monolithic palate, with not much character. I'm not sure how fresh this is, as there is no bottle date, but seems it could be fresher. Decent pale ale, but nothing overly interesting.

500mL bottle, pours a pale golden with a small white head. Nose has loads of piney hops, a bit of resin and a bit of floral hop notes, with a light cracker malt backing. Flavour brings out fairly bitter piney hops, a bit of passionfruit, some citrus and orange, and a light cracker malt backing. Very pleasant flavours, but not the most dynamic or complex array of them. Highly drinkable and quite enjoyable. Good one.

(Bottle) Beautiful looking clear golden amber beer with great white head. Excellent hoppy aroma with plenty of fruit notes - stone fruit, pineapple - and pine. Palate is dominated by mouth filling carbonation - pleasant but a bit too much perhaps. The flavour is, pleasantly, dominated by the hops; imparting some nice fruity notes at the start but quickly the strong and very nice hop bitterness rolls over everything else and into a long finish. An excellent hoppy IPA; whilst styled on the very heavily hopped American type it is comparatively restrained, and as such it is an enjoyable drink.
