330ml bottle thanks to the ever generous and wonderful couple that are Fin and Loz. They got me this as part of my race to 10k so thanks for the beer and the rate. Pours a copper gold colour with a faint haze. lasting near white head. Cheesey earthy American hop aroma. Some satsuma and clementine aroma. Its a prwtty decent US style IPA. It has lots of gops lots of sherberty hoppy bitterness on the finish. Once you get some of the carbonation out of it the mouthfeel is quite creamy. Cheesey hop aroma gives way to likeable arresting flavour and mouthfeel. Finish is best part ot the beer. Really quite an aggressive likeable IPA.

750mL bottle, pours pale golden orange. Aroma of wheat, caramel and apples. Flavour is sort of an amplified apple juice, with wheat and candied sugar as well. Quite decent.
