Pours out in a amber colour with a rich white foam. Hoppy, fruity fragrant aroma of pine and grapefruit eith touches of apricots and caramel. Medium-bodied with notes of grapefruit, lemon-zest, flowers and pine-needles with touches of mango. Long bitter finish of grass, pine and grapefruit with sweet floral undertones. Great beer!!!

12oz can from OTM. Pours orange with a two finger tan head. Nose is sweet and quite well hopped. Taste is sweet and hoppy with a big pine bite. Decent tasty.

Sort of reminds me of a more heavily hopped version of Dale’s Pale Ale. A lot of tropical fruit flavors from the hops. Citrusy and sticky and tasty.

Can. Dark bronze beer with a strong off white/brownish head. The aroma is lightly hopped, and the flavour is deeply hopped and roasted. Overall a good solid well hopped IPA.

Can from Bellingers, Oxfordshire. An amber pour with decent white head. Hoppy, fruity aroma. Grapefruit, hoppy taste, slightly bitter. Refreshing. Hard to believe this is an IPA from a can. Very nice.

Can thanks to the bosses had at home. Alround rating: Big grassy citrusy bittering hop, fairly peppery and drying, the malt is more pale honey almost than the usual caramalt, but interesting stuff all the same.

12 oz. can from John’s Market Place. Nice coppery/brown color. Nice thin head sitting on top. This is a good looking IPA. Ctirus hop aroma with a subtle fruit aroma. Not really smelling the pine hop aroma as some are, but I am sure tasting it. Smooth beer with a nice malt backing that keeps it slightly fruity. The citrus hops are immediately noticeable. The bittering hop just lingers. There is this lingering pine hop that is great. Well balanced IPA. For me it could be slightly more hoppy, but then again it is so well balanced I can’t argue that. Good beer, and when I am out on the West Coast next time I plan on investing in more of this stuff.
