Hazy golden color. The aroma is wonderful, hoppy and fresh, citrusy with a dash of elderflowers and vanilla. The mouthfeel is very dry and also quite weak; dry toffee flavor, and very strong bitterness, with plenty of resins and hop oils in the end. A bit too aggressive, but good.

Draft @ White Horse, Parsons Green SW6. Pours a slightly hazy orange color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity hoppy pineapple grapefruit aroma. Fresh fruity hoppy grapefruit flavor. Has a fruity hoppy grapefruit finish.

Draught (White Horse, Parson’s Green, London)
6 Lovely fruity aroma - mango, peach and mandarin
4 Hazy orange, tiny head
7 Sherbetty fruity peach mango retronasals. Pleasant sweet malts lie low, and the fruity hops play all the lead. All very well balanced.
4 Crisply carbonated palate. Refreshing. Flavour fills the mouth, and leaves a tingly hoppy bitterness, and a big sweet estery fruitiness.
14+ Win. This is IPA. See above for reasons why.

[3247-20100802] Tap. Hint of apricot and fruity fragrant hops in the aroma. Hazy, medium orange body with a quick creamy white head. Hoppy leafy flavour throughout with a light bitter wood sweat aftertaste. Medium body. Quite tasty.

A Mes rate. Draught at the Sloany Pony.
Hazy amber gold with a thick foamy white head. Very citric and almost peachy hoppage. Faint floral almost perfumed note. Some delicate bitterness in the dry finish thankfully removes the hint of diacetyl in the flavour. Drinkable enough but, like the other Grassroots beer, it simply couldn’t stand up to the rest of the beers on offer that night.

Hazy dark golden with a small white head. Strong grapefruit and pine hop aroma. Sweetish fruity flavour with resiny hops and a bitter finish.

On tap at Jan’s Masters Division Celebration, 2nd August 2010. Coppery amber with a hint of head. Slightly grapefruity nose. Same, but stronger in the mouth. Great weight, very drinkable. Hops for the win here.
