On tap at the Beer Spot. Pours straw. Orange, floral, bubblegum, strong bitterness. Bit weird and I don’t love it.

On tap at 16 Tun. Pours very pale. Grapefruit, lime, citric acidity and a long sweaty eggy finish. Shame about that flaw in the finish, otherwise good.

On tap at Brewers Cooperative. Pours dark brown without head. Oak, sweet port, cherry, figs, boysenberry, vanilla, smoke, long sweet jam finish. Some alcohol heat in the aroma. Very port like with all that oakiness and sweet red fruit, but that bitter heat grounds things. Really very good, though I’m glad the bar was only doing 150ml serves.

Bottle at a tasting. Typical American style IPA - considerable balancing sugary caramelly maltiness in the backbone. However hops bitterness and character hold the high ground, orange, citrusy, fruity, resiny. Rich and intense, yet balanced. Great one!

Can from MartinB, many thanks. Orange golden color with medium white head. Aroma of caramel malt, light citrus hops, alcohol. Taste, sweet malty base followed by distinct citrus hoppy bitterness with alcohol. Long hoppy bitter finish. Very good.

On tap at Brothers Beer. Pours very pale and the aroma has some stale cardboard notes in it. Flavour has some peach, lemon, nice hoppy notes over a very clean base. Pretty uninspiring.

0.5l bottle. Looks good this. A tall lasting and quite lacing eggshell colored head over a mild cloudy orange golden colored body. It has a pungent strong hoppy nose filled with peaches, cat pee, floral apricots and green pine. Quite delicate and really enjoyable to nose at. Tastes really good also. It has a good oily texture in the mouth and it's just about average on the near creamy carbonation. A mild sourness, tons of grassy hops here. Slightly dry and fruity sweet in once. Peachy and a little tropical. A really fine tasting one this. 07.05.2016
