A - Hazy Orange, a bit dingey small head turned to film and stayed.
S- Sweet citrus and honey, apricot jam, pepper
T - Citrus and pine the fruits come and go but the pine stays and becomes a sticky bitter earthy aftertaste. Bit of heat at the end.
M - Smooth and soft, medium body and very nice.
O - a very good beer but not their best. Some things very good but the taste did not have balance or an overwelming (in a good way) taste, that great ipa's have

Clean and simple but lacking the punch that a 7.3% IPA for £7 should have. Not a bad beer at all but it doesn't deliver for the price.
