slightly orange-tinited golden colour, big rocky white head. Tangerine and caramel aroma. Sweet entry giving way to floral and citrus hoppiness, mildly bitter finish. This is certainly not the Cascade hop monster that many American IPAs are, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Perhaps it should be re-classed as an American pale ale.

Have tried at the pub and in bottles. It’s a good IPA, by no means an outstanding example of the style but all the Spinnaker’s beers are good and reliable.

Draught sample from brewpub. Light hoppy honey aroma, that house character that most have seemed to have, with very mild bitterness. Golden clear with foamy lacing head. Medium body with light carbonation. Nice medium sweet character, grainy with light fresh hops. Medium bitter finish with mild bitter after. A decent IPA.

Light blonde, with decent head retention. Decent bitter hop aroma, with alcohol well-masked it flavor. Raw-hop bitterness. Quite strong and enjoyable for a Britt IPA.

Color is gold with a white head. Aroma is light honey, pale malts. Taste is very light, pale malts, nothing really sticks out in this brew, light hoppiness. Drinkable, but not great by any means.
