Sampled at Billies, day 2. Clear golden color, medium sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, hops, hoppy bitter. Clean and dry. Okay, but nothing special imo. 7-7-7-6-6

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Clear golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of white grape and melon rind. Flavour of lemongrass and fleshy orange. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A bright and juicy IPA. It’s nice to see a higher ABV IPA from Newbarns as most are generally 5.5%.
