Opaque-orange in color with a bright white head, this easy IPA has a very distinctive aroma that’s earth and spicy. Nice. It’s light and soft in the mouth, but well hopped. The malts are sweet, but not overpowering, leading to an easy, light finish that’s potently hopped, yet still gentle. Soft. Nice-well hopped.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 ComradeK (731) - Blue Mountains, AUSTRALIA - APR 29, 2013
650ml bottle. Pours a hazy medium amber, with a large off-white head, which lasts well and leaves decent lacing. Grapefruit, citrus blossom and pine resin notes are strong in the aroma, with some fainter caramel malt. Powerful grapefruit and orange hops up front segue into citrus blossom and slightly sweet caramel malt in the mid-palate. Resurgent grapefruit hops come in at the finish, along with some pine resin, which lingers into the aftertaste. This is a nice, potent IPA, with some interesting hops flavours.

250ml on tap. Aroma is cherry sweet and hops. Appearance is pale golden with white foam. Taste is bitter and light sweet. Leaves a very dry mouth feel. Overall a good IPA.
