(On tap) Clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head. Fresh aroma of citrus and pine. Medium body with a lightly sweet malt base and then loads of good, fresh, citric hop aroma also leaving a distinct bitterness. A very classical West Coast IPA of good quality. 240307

From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden orange with a small to fully gone white head. Mild apple to mango fruity hops aroma. Winegrape fruity hops flavoured, light bitterness and good malt base to counterbalance this. Crisp, vibrant and fruity bitterness into the far finish.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear deep golden. Lychee aroma. Sweet up front with solid, rounded malt profile, yet dominated by powerful hoppiness. Resiny very bitter finish. Aggresive.

Bright golden-copper colour. LIght fruity, citrusy hop aroma. Only light bitterness for style but lots of chewy maltiness...light crystal. The finish is a bit spritzy. Flavour is fairly standard but the mouthfeel is substandard...not very rounded.

Tap. Amber ale with a nice floral hops aroma, with peppery notes. Nice sharp floral hops attack. Lots of citrus in finish. Again, rather light in body. (June 2004).
