Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours clear gold with a medium white head. The nose is sweet, candied fruits, pear, melon, biscuit, grain, banana, spice and hay. The taste is bitter-sweet, spicy, melon, apple, pear, pepper, sherbet, straw, candy and grassy with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A touch sweeter than I had hoped for. OK.

Bottle split at Mother Arch during my 40th, thanks to Leighton, 11/10/14. Hazed orange golden with a decent beige covering. Nose is floral hop, bitter orange, spice, bread dough, caramel tunes. Taste comprises citric peel, floral notes, grapefruit, spice, citric tang. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a hoppt rinse. Ok IPA - not enough hops for my liking and the citricana isn’t quite juicy enough.

1/3 pint, keg at Mother Kelly’s Bottle & Tap Room, Bethnal Green as Wiper and True India Pale Ale ABC ED 6.9 % abv. Low white head at the top of a clear amber coloured body. Lacing at the upper level of the glass. Blended aromas of fruity hops and brown malts. Taste follows the nose with fresh grapefruit, lemon and caramel malts. Lingering bittersweet finish. Refreshing and tasty. Like it (London 26.09.2014).

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Cloudy gold. Thin, sticky, white head. Grassy. Floral. Herbal. The Sorachi is evident. There’s a jammy, buttery thing going on, too. Taste is orange bitter. Some dry. A little meringue sweetness. Palate is zesty clean. Quite airy. Finishes long, rolling, chewy bitter. The first beer with Ella hops that I’ve liked, I think.

Bottle from Great Grog. Hazy amber body with tiny yeast flecks floating around. Medium off-white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of candy, orange and pineapple. Flavour of toffee apple, orange, roasted malt and a slightly boozy finish. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. I like more bitterness in an IPA - this is a bit too sweet and malty.
