Share draft pint at the brewpub on 12th August 2025. Opaque dull lemon body, white head for a short while. Strange animal really, herbal, grassy aroma and a salty flavour, not too sure what the brewer was trying to do here, but it didn't float anybody's boat in our party of six (I had the most, because I'm greedy).

Part of a flight at the brewpub on 12th August 2025. Clean amber body, off white crown. Malty with an earthy hop bite, light citrus flavours arrive late on. Nice take on an English ESB.

Part of a flight at the brewpub on 12th August 2025. Clear golden body, white crown. Piney, citrus notes in both the nose and taste, nice blend with a solid malty base. Easy drinking, citrus fruits come to the fore as it warms.

On a flight at the brewpub on 12th August 2025. Almost clear golden body, white wispy topping. Fruity and bitter from start to finish, more hoppy than malty, late piney/earthy flavour compliment the fruitiness.

On tap at Devil's Elbow. Pours cleae gold with a white head. Lots of pine and resins on the nose. Flavour has tons of pine and bitter resins. I wouldn't have necessarily guessed that this is a bitter, it's well-done regardless.

473ml can. Pours a clear orange gold with a small, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Fruity aroma of grainy pale malt, orange, mango, apricot and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, tangerine, peach, pineapple, mango and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Light to medium body with a slick texture and average carbonation. Clean, juicy and easy to drink.

473mL can, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is indeed juicy, with tropical fruits (mango especially), along with a more conventional piney hop WC bitterness. Flavour is much the same, with lots of piney hops, some resins, and huge tropical fruits. Now this is the kind of juicy IPA I can get behind: very tropical, fruity, and still bitter and assertively hopped. Very good.

473 ml can. Pours a bright clear gold with light head. Aromas of juicy melons, wine guns, candied citrus, resin and biscuity malts. Flavors of dank hops, tropical fruit, candied lemons, and dry toasty malts. Very good modern IPA.
