Cask at the Pilgrim - Liverpool. Pours perfectly clear gold with a frothy white head. Beautiful nose with lots of good piss, dank pine, tropical fruits, mango and papaya. Proper West Coast like. Light-medium sweet flavor with big juicy hop character, low bitterness, great tropical fruits, melon, papaya, mango, mellow pine. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation; great condition. Lightly resinous on the finish with slight sticky pine, loads more juicy citrus and tropical fruits. Quite blown away by this one. Outstanding hop expression here. Superb balance. Simply outstanding.

Bottle at Beer Rebellion, thanks to Niall. It pours hazy amber with a medium white head. The nose is bitter-sweet, doughy, orange peel, floral and Victoria sponge. The taste is bitter, citrusy, doughy, orange sponge cake, grapefruit, pine, resin and a touch of alcohol with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and fine, carbonation. Pretty punchy, nice orange sherbet action.

Bottle, Londis, Penny Lane, Liverpool. Hazy amber pour with a restrained off-white head. Promising enough nose of piney hop and citrus. The flavour didn’t quite deliver, with notes of grain and sweet malt alongside some earthy hop bitterness. Everything is a bit lead footed and the hops didn’t shine through enough. I really wanted this to be top notch, but sadly it falls a short of capturing the key elements of a good west coast ipa.

Cask, 23 Club, Liverpool. Amber looks with a meek off-white head. Nose had some citrus and caramel malt notes. Flavour was similar with some fairly subdued grassy hop. Easy drinking and light. Its drinkable but teeters on the precipice of drab mediocrity.
