Pours amber with a 2cm white head. A lot of trace on the glass.
Fantastic smell of american hops, grape, apricot and peach. A little bit of caramell in the background. An "oily" smell.
I have a little problem to start tasting the beer - The smell is sooo god!
A great bitter taste of grape, grass, hops, pine needles - magical!

Draught at Picts bar.
Pours redish amber with a light tan head.
Balanced beer with nice floral, citrusy parfumed hops. It realy is a tribute to the UK IPA in a modern US hop version!
