Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. Poured a clear golden colour with a middling white head. Aroma had some nice fresh and fragrant hop character and juicy citrus notes. Flavour had a decent malt base and wasn’t as overwhelmingly hoppy as anticipated. Very well balanced and crisp. Pleasantly bitter finish. Good stuff. Easy!....Easy!....Easy!.....for all the uk wrestle fans out there.

On tap @ Toronado. Pours a clear orange color with a small white head. Light citrus hop on the aroma, big grapefruit hop body. Quite light and refreshing. Maybe a session IPA... ?

A Mes rate: bottle at the ever brilliant Chris O’s Pre GBBF Extravaganza.
Damn good looking golden amber with a slight haze and a superb uneven white head. This is a bloody good beer. Not really in keeping with what I know of U.S. IPAs. It’s more like a stong English version, probably a little under hopped compared with most American beers of this style but it really doesn’t matter. The malt is superb and the restrained hoppage only serves to give it really good balance. Mellow and drinkable but with bags of flavour. Not the punch in the mouth I was expecting but in this case, it’s all the better for it.

Bottle from Utobeer. Golden with a healthy offwhite head. Good citrus and apricot aroma and hop flavours. Even a hint of herbal hops. Good, but not too harsh daddy.

Pours a lasting ring of off-white head with a golden amber body. Aromas of mango and pineapple. Flavor is pineapple, mange, apricot. Finish has a bit of bitterness, but not much.

Bottle. Clear gold with a white foam. Aromas are tropical fruit with grapefruit. Floral and spicy with spritzy yeast. Flavours are sweet pineapple and grapefruit with lemon - Lilt soft drink. Biscuit malts with floral, herbal notes. Hoppy on the finish. Pleasant.

On tap at the Blind Tiger at their Kuhnhenn event. Pours a clear light orange amber with a thin to medium white head. Nice bitterness that starts right up front. Medium bodied, light sweetness, well balanced. Finishes up with a light bitterness. Well done.

Pours a light orange gold with foamy white head which stays for awhile. Hoppy aroma very floral. Good bite and finish. Very drinkable ipa, not syrupy.
