Clear light yellow body with thin foam, Nice piney hops on the nose, sweet, vague light grain notes. Flavour is more pine hops, soft sweet white wine notes. Lingering sugar on the mouth, a little thin. Not bad, okay for the abv.

Good yellow body with modest foam, Nice heavy sweet hops on the nose that I can actually smell. Flavour is sharp yet sweet hops, well balanced. Good oiliness and carbonation on the mouth. A very nice straight ahead IPA, well done and a pleasure to drink.

473ml can. Pours a hazy gold-yellow with plenty of sediment and a small, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces nicely. Sweet fruity aroma of grainy wheat, green apple, pineapple, papaya and grapefruit. Sweet fruity flavour of biscuit malt, oats, green apple, grapefruit, pineapple, lemon and pine in a crisp, dry, bitter grass finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. More of a Hazy West Coast IPA than a NEIPA, but pretty good whatever you want to call it.

Good foam on a copper body, smells of hops mostly with very vague bready malt hints in the right setting. Flavour is plenty of chewy malt with soft hop notes. Finish is very nice, good oiliness mixed with malt sweetness. Very fine, kind of strong for an ESB but they manage to pull it off well.

Nice white foam on top of an okay gold body, good juicy hops on the nose with a hint of oil. Flavour is very fine juicy hops, well balanced. Mouthfeel is great, good oiliness mixed with a refreshing side. A very nice IPA, a local standout.
