Bottle. Lovely nose. Great grassy hops, floral, slightly mineral, great grass. Some tobacco. Glowing orange-amber. Dirty grassy, earthy flavor. Very bitter. Silky and full but light. A bit too bitter I would say, but nice.

Bottle thanks to Dave. It pours deep orange-amber with a medium yellow-white head. The nose is caramel, candy, toast, tropical fruits, five alive fruit juice, orange Chewits and a slight metallic twang. The taste is toasty,wood, orange peel, brown bread, earth, watery and metal. Lightish body and moderate carbonation. Nice on the nose, but a touch thin on the palate. Decent enough.

Bottle split at Craft Clerko, big thanks to Dave Wingman Willis, 27/01/14. Lightly hazed orange amber with a good sized off white head. Nose is skunky hops, Mary Jane Wanna notes - oh so hoibal, caramel malt, bitter orange. Taste comprises earthy hops, bitter orange, light spice, lemon rind, caramel. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, grassy bitterness in the closure. Ok IPA but a few notches from dem higher up draws!
