Draft. Hazy amber beer with a cream head. Summer fruit aroma. Summer fruit and spice flavor. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Summer fruit and spice linger.

On a flight of four at the brewhouse on 12th April 2025. Liked it's bitterness, piney hops coming through loud and clear, citrus hops joining in and a decent malty base. Golden in colour, white crown on top. Best of the three IPA's on the flight.

On a flight of four at the brewhouse on Saturday 12th April 2025. This was the second of three IPA's in the flight and the one I least liked. Golden body, clean and clear; white head. The hop combination didn't work for me, bitter piney hops with a hint of citrus coming through. Nothing wrong with it, just not as good as the other two IPA's I had alongside.

On a flight at the brewhouse on Saturday 12th April 2025. Golden orange body, clear and clean; white head. Bitter IPA with a piney nose and initial taste, as it warmed in the glass citrus fruit aromas and flavours started to appear, but it still stayed very hop bitter.

Margie ordered a pint of this at the brewhouse on Saturday 12th April 2025, I helped her drink it. Arrived with a small packet of a lime and salt pegged to the glass (we didn't use it). The beer was a clean and clear light golden colour, weak white head that soon became a wisp and collar. Dry and crisp, but without much aroma or flavour.

Auntie Sue had a 12 Fl Oz pour of this into a bulbous glass at the brewhouse on Saturday 12th April 2025; I helped her drink it. Black bodied, tanned affair on top. Rich chocolate front that carried on until the end, nice soft and smooth feel to the brew.

On a flight at the brewhouse, with three IPA's on Saturday 12th April 2025. Nice red colour, beige crust on top. Semi-sweet caramel and toffee flavours, it helped to cut through the IPA's bitter hop flavours and calmed them all down a little. I liked the maltiness of this one.

US Pint, on tap during Happy Hour on 2nd July 2024 in 'Craft By Smoke and Fire', Pasadena. Had the West Coast IPA before this and I preferred this one, it looked very similar but had more 'oomph'. Golden body, slight mist, but almost clear, white top. Piney hops and a good bitterness.

US Pint, on tap during Happy Hour on 2nd July 2024 in 'Craft By Smoke and Fire', Pasadena. Golden pour, almost clear, just a slight mistiness, on top a white crown. Piney hop bitter with a solid malty base, nice easy drinking IPA.
