On cask at Belfast Beer Fest, ‘14.
Dark honey with lots of white pump froth. 4
Lemon boiled sweets and sulfur (dish soap?) plus some stone fruit. 3.75
Peach, whole wheat toast, some orange rind and resiny hops. 4
Tangerine finish and limey linger.
Soft, round, oily, salt. 4
Marmaladey, with a touch of mineral. Lots of proper hops - “3 British,” says the blurb. Flinty citrus yum. 4

Literally just finished the last drop.
Bought this single bottle in my local Oddbins a day before they went out of business.
Served slighty chilled this poured a deep golden hazy yellow topped with a constant fluffy half inch head.
Very slight fizziness to start folllowed by a huskylengthy bitter burr. And there's a trace of sweetness among all that too. Strong and deep with a firm medium body which is as rounded and ballsy as any American IPA-except that this is within the British style. Every sip leaves lots of whippy foamy lacing all over the glass. Trully great dimension with some individuality. Beautiful label too.
I don't really like to make beer a competition but this is actually much more genuine (and better) than either Jaipur or Punk IPA.
Spank the monkey boys, I'm getting me a case of this.

Served in a half-pint glass at the Bow Bar in Edinburgh.
A: Quite clear, copper/gold. Creamy head with very nice lacing.
S: Creamy/cheesy. Some citrus and *maybe* hops.
T: Very good! The creaminess from the head is my least favourite part of the beer. The body is citrus-thick with pervasive hops improving the taste drastically. Buttered bread. The aftertaste is floral/vegetal. There is a strong and wonderful fruit presence that tastes like blood oranges.
M: More substantial than I expected. Well-carbonated and perfectly hopped for such a fruity IPA.
D: Wonderfully drinkable! Fruity, round, and very taste. Not my favourite IPA, but quite accessible. Should appeal to all.

500ml bottle that I got on a recent trip to Edinburgh at Cronelius beer and wine near Leith Walk.
A goldish yellow, slightly cloudy with very very little head, lacing is almost non-existent
S some citrus, semi-pungent hops and a slight breadiness
T good medium bitterness, hint of citrus and a little sweetness, perhaps honey
M very smooth, with a bit of creaminess to it, but low on carbonation, not necessarily a bad thing, reminds me of many cask ales
D smooth, goes down easy could see drinking several, especially on a warm day
