Can ordered from Elusive. Aroma is resinous and fruity. I can see why it was added as a Red IPA, it's a an opaque toffee brown. Thick fluffy off-white head. Medium bitter. Pine/resinous. Followed by a hint of caramelised fruit. Develops a sour almost vinous edge. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Doesn't overdo the bitterness a relaxed West IPA that admittedly also has a Red IPA gene in there.
