Not bad. Some lemongrass. Pale bread, pine needles. Decent balance. Uninspiring but drinkable enough.

26/9/2025. Draft at the London Brewers Alliance Beer Festival 2025. Hazy/cloudy pour. Aroma is tropical, fruity, stone fruits, melon, grassy, touch husky herbal. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness and body. Average carbonation. Nice if slightly modest IPA, but steps up well from an ISA and still very sessionable at 5.2%.
