Bottle from Bargain Booze, Mold. Clear golden with a very thin head. Has a decent pale ale texture with its strength evident but not overbearing. There’s a good balance of dry hop and tropical fruits.

Bottle from Gravity Station, Cardiff. Pours deep dark ruby brown with a small short lasting tan head. Stunning aroma of malt, dark fruits, plum, blackberry, banana and vanilla. Quite heavy on sweetness, with light bitterness. Full bodied, slick/oily texture, carbonation is a touch too fizzy. Finish of lasting malty and fruity sweetness. Apart from the higher than expected carbonation level, this beer is top notch.

Can courtesy of Geraint and Helen cheers you two! Consumed at home down the office watching the rain, Sunday 24th April 2016 Light amber in colour with a white film across the top. . Unusual aroma, its a little rubbery, its a bit confectionary but with a fruitiness that I cannot yet place. Some sweetness in the mouth, ok its a little bit thin but hey its only 3.5%. a touch of spiciness as per the deScription adds a nice touch, I have to say at first I wasn’t so fussed, but after a while this has gained my respect, its a nice and decent session IPA, mostly fruity, with a dry finish, good stuff.
