500ml bottle from BeerRitz, Leeds. Orange-yellow amber colour, foamy white head that leaves some lacing and aroma of tropical fruits, orange & apricot. Taste is caramel malt with grapefruit hop bitterness and some earthy, apricot notes. Well balanced, with a warming dry bitter finish. Smooth soapy mouth feel, light to medium bodied, soft carbonation. Quite drinkable IPA.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Orange with sediment. Quite nice malty, citrus-hoppy, nose. Grapefruit, tropicals vibes - mango, papaya etc. Body is medium light. Quite bitter, dry, but not nuff to be harsh. Pale malts, some tangerines, some currants. Nice. Probably better if the bartender hadn’t poured the yeast.

3.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Stunning nose of citric new world hops - spruce, grapefruit, papaya and lemongrass. Pours cloudy (because I didn’t settle it, to be fair) with a very fluffy head. Flavour is more citrus with grapefruit and love hearts candy. Let down a bit with over-carbonation but otherwise an all-round winner of an IPA.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
500ml bottle (Gallows Bird, Espoo, Fest2013)
Very nice hoppy fruity aroam. Hazy deep straw, small light head. Rubber taste. After the plastic, the body deos show the aromatic nature of the hops. Some sugary taste too. Finish has more and more hop bitterness with every sip, until the whole mouth throbs with hops. Good IPA, but a little OTT.
