Cloudy peach colour. Light cI trust hops, and gentle pale malt aromas. Earthy notes. Gentle carbonation, light flavours of citrus hops, grapefruit, pine, clean and light with delicate pith and bittering notes. Slightly soapt hop finish. Medium-bodied.

A 330ml bottle with a BB of June 2018 (bottled Sept 2017). Acquired recently from Trembling Madness in York. The label describes it as a session IPA with aroma hops added to the whirlpool and dry-hopping in the fermenter.

A: Poured into a tulip. Bottle conditioned. A hazy pale gold colour with plentiful fine sediment and good carbonation. Yields a large head of frothy white foam that lasts for a minute or two before reducing to a patchy surface layer.

S: Aroma of intense fruity hops with hints of grapefruit, zesty citrus, peel, tropical fruit, white grape, grass/hay, earthy yeast and pale malt. Sublimely hoppy - very nice.

T: Tastes of overwhelmingly fruity hops with notes of grapefruit, citrus, peel, passionfruit, tropical fruit, white grape, grass, earthy yeast, mild pale malt and subtle leafiness. Very dry, followed by a robust hoppy bitterness upon swallowing.

M: Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with spritzy carbonation and decent body (if thin). Somewhat astringent; hop oils dry the palate. Aftertaste of bitter aromatic hops, citrus, tropical fruit, earthy yeast and faint malt.

O: Lovely - an avalanche of hops to bury your senses. Looks good, though the head retention needs work. Aroma and flavour are replete with fruity aroma hops, earthy yeast and a crisp bitterness. Nice body. Wonderfully hoppy; goes down a treat. Well worth sampling if you come across it.

Slightly hazy light-yellow color with a thick two finger head with good retention.
Delicious hoppy aroma with notes of passionfruit, lemon, pine, white bread, ginger and lots of pineapple.
Flavor with notes of pine, lemon, white bread, ginger, white pepper, passionfruit, a bit of chalk yeast and resin. Dry and bitter aftertaste.
Light body with appropriate carbonation. Oat and wheat gave a slightly velvet and feather weight sensation.
Ultra-refreshing American IPA with mild but bright flavors and piney and citrusy hop forward being very aromatic.

Pours a very pale and hazy, like a watered-down lemonade. Nose is pleasantly hoppy for a smaller beer with mostly grapefruit as the main note. Taste is smaller like the ABV, and has quite a watery mouthfeel. Again, grapefruit is coming through nicely, but it falls short. Overall, it would be a great summer crusher or lawnmower beer, but isn't quite there as a regular drinker.

Really hazy yellow color with white head. Aroma has dank hops, some cabbage and citrus fruits. Taste is light, mostly hoppy and citrusy, really easy drinking. Medium body with a medium to high effervescence. A really refreshing and aromatic session IPA.
