Draught at the brewpub. Clear deep golden. Lychee aroma. Sweet up front with solid, rounded malt profile, yet dominated by powerful hoppiness. Resiny very bitter finish. Aggresive.

(On tap) Clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head. Fresh aroma of citrus and pine. Medium body with a lightly sweet malt base and then loads of good, fresh, citric hop aroma also leaving a distinct bitterness. A very classical West Coast IPA of good quality. 240307

Bright golden-copper colour. LIght fruity, citrusy hop aroma. Only light bitterness for style but lots of chewy maltiness...light crystal. The finish is a bit spritzy. Flavour is fairly standard but the mouthfeel is substandard...not very rounded.
