33cl bottle from Waitrose, Wokingham. An amber pour with a thin white head; creamy grainy aroma; smooth in the mouth with a light citrus flavour to start, then developing a grapefruity bitterness; with a sweetish finish with a lingering bitterness. Good stuff.

Appearance- slightly murky amber, half a finger off-white head which persists nicely. Aroma- creamy, bready malt, hops, grapefruit, tangerine, marmalade, sugary sultana. Taste- bitter hops, pineapple and grapefruit juice, juicy fruit, solid malt undertones, dry bitter finish, tinges of caramel and chocolate orange. Nice IPA.
