Can shared at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks funkwit for this can! Hazy deep golden with a white head. Nice hoppy aroma, citric, a bit tropical. Dry flavor, hoppy, citric, a bit tropical, with nice bitterness. Medium-bodied. A good IPA.

Probably the best beer from my Borefts trades, together with the Pirate Life IPA.
Clear orange to amber beer, huge creamy to frothy off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving some lacing. Aroma: bit resinous, pineapple, heavy, bit of sweet malts, caramel, some citrus, quite some grapefruit. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: fruity start, lots of grapefruit, citrus, very bitter, bit grassy, hint of sweet malts. Aftertaste: very dry, resinous bitterness, quite a lot of grapefruit, citrus, lovely session ale!

On tap at Vultures Lane. Aroma is hops, but nothing particularly strong. Flavour is crisp bitter hops with some fruitiness. Quite refreshing, but nothing special.

From a 355ml can on 28/9/2016. Pours a fairly clear deep golden with a medium white head. Has nice fruit dominated aroma lots of lychee, melon, pineapple and pear. In the mouth, there’s some light caramel, followed b a barrage of sweet stone and tropical fruit, which is countered by some relatively firm, lingering grapefruity hops. The body is fullish and the carbonation average. Quite obviously the little brother o the IIPA and really well put together. Not at all US in style but is very tasty, distinctive and has lovely balance.

355ml can into tulip. Nose has grapefruit, lemon zest and green green grass. Slightly hazy Les Paul sunburst colour, steady fine carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel, bitter lemon at first taste. Long finish with pine needles and aspirin. There is a touch of malt lurking in the background to balance the bitter fruity succulence. Amazingly easy drinking, another winner from these guys.
