16 oz. can poured into a half pint tasting glass
Appearance : a slightly orange haze color . Not much of a head ont his one even with an aggressive pour it disappeared quickly.
Smell : this beer smells wonderful. Very pungent hop forward aromas. Lots of pine resin and grapefruit citrus aromas. I am very impressed with the smell of this one.
Taste : lots of maltiness and very well balanced with terrific hoppy goodness. The hoppy bitterness really lingers on my palette for a long time.
Mouthfeel : medium body with light carbonation
Overall : this is a beer I would like to have again and again. This is why I drink craft beer so I can experience great beer like this one. This beer is very well done the only thing it lacks is some lacing and head retention . But that is easy to get over because this beer has great aroma and taste.

Used to love these out of the wetherspoons fridges in Nottingham UK, stopped doing it at least 5 years ago. Was always very satisfying balancing resinous and citric hop forward notes with gentle finish and quaffability.

Rating from notes. Consumed January 2013. "Aromatic IPA. Flavour gets a little watery towards the end, but otherwise this is well executed."

I really like this as an example of a lighter IPA--one that I enjoy drinking by itself rather than just with food. It's not quite a session beer, but I can have more than one without feeling either like my mouth is turning to cotton or that I'm about to fall off of my stool.
