COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular.
Citrus dominated IPA with a slight astringency in the first sip that warns you of what’s about to come and an enduring bitter finish (IBUs 65). Back end taste and aromas of tropical fruits from the New Zealand Kohatu hops with Dana hops giving the sensation of being smacked in the mouth with a jar of marmalade…. kinda like Bob Dylan on acid.
Malt: Maris Otter Pale, Crystal Malt & Bamberg Cara Aroma
Hops: Bravo, Cascade, Dana & Kohatu

On tap at Euston Tap. Nice pale body with medium head. Not much in the nose, some hops but lightly. Taste is hoppy with some fruits and ginger tastes in there. Enjoyable.

hopbomber (119) - Manchester, Greater Manchester, ENGLAND - DEC 7, 2012
Keg@ Euston tap. Served very cold had to wait ages to drink it, anyway no complexity just simply dry in a pale ale sense no fruit in the smell or taste low carbonation unappealing brown colour. Tasted like a cask ale coming from a Cold keg. Rather not have bothered. Buy only if it’s cheap ie less than £3 per pint.
