On tap at Vultures Lane. Aroma is sherbet and caramel. Taste is similar. Overall, far too sweet for my tastes.

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.

355mL can, pours a hazy golden with a medium off-white head. Aroma brings out dry crackery malt and dry dusty hopping. Flavour is along the same lines, with crisp dry crackery malt and punch dry hopping. Nicely balanced, with a very dry palate that makes this quite drinkable. Better than the average rating suggests.

Can. Orangey gold with a loose white head. Aroma of grapefruit, apricots, biscuit, a little pine. Light bodied. A little hay and biscuit, stone fruit and grapefruit, dry and spicy with moderate bitterness at the end. Any charm in the malt side of things has little chance to shine, but this is pretty good and a bit of a pick-me-up.
