A hazy orange beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy combined with notes of grass. The flavor is hoppy and grassy, leading to a dry hoppy end.

Bottled, thanks marbles! Dark amber, small head. Grapefruit aroma. Dry with soft mouthfee. All dominated by grapefruity hops, butwith enough malt to back it up. There are more hop aroma than bitterness, but still there is a real kick of late bitterness. Really good stuff!

(Bottle 65 cl) Clear, warm amber golden with a tall, dense, off-white head leaving laces - thick, dense shaving foam style laces. Strong aroma of pine and citrus. Medium body with some caramel and lots and lots of lovely, fresh, citrusy aroma hops leaving a solid bitterness. Nice and classical West Coast IPA. 260307

Amber; a chewier, maltier IPA for this town...I liked it, but compared with these guys I must be getting jaded on the whole IPA thing.

22 fl oz bottle. Pours golden orange with a nicely lacing and light off-white head. Peach and grapefruit hops aroma, very inviting and fresh. Flavour starts light sweet caramelish, goes into light malt note before a nice set of light peach, pineapple and distinct grapefruit flavour appear in the finish. Shows a light wooden note and solid dryness into the finish and beyond. Nice.
