Our IPA is brewed for hop lovers who enjoy bold, complex tropical and citrus characters and a solid malt body. It’s exactly what an IPA should be… rich, robust yet very drinkable.

L. Pale chestnut, quite cloudy, thin head clears to lacing.
S. Fresh citrus nose.
T. Crisp, fresh, into a good solid meaty middle/end with dry hoppy finish. Very nice distinct path there.
M. After a few mouthfulls the 6.5% comes across as a buzz left on the tongue. That together with a fresh/citrus (citra hops?) angle makes this a refreshing beer despite it's strength.
O. The bottle says it's Australian, and now I'm wondering where I bought it from, Waitrose or possibly Whole Foods. It is another fashionably very hoppy beer but (IMPO) quite unusually pulls it off with something very pleasant perhaps through a carefully balanced flavour given a kick via the ABV%. This is one of several very hopped beers I've had today that I have enjoyed, and would choose to buy/drink again!

Bottle. Amber. Thin wispy head.
Gentle aroma of new world hops and some light caramel candy.
Initial toffee sweetness is displaced by a fruity hoppy bitter finish.
Smooth carbonation with a nice refreshing feel.

Had in a glass from 330ml bottle.
A: Golden amber with 1 - 2 finger head with nice lacing.
S: Nice fruity notes of passion fruit, pineapple, mandarin and orange with nice malt and slight hoppiness.
T: Sweet taste up front with nice fruit and malt taste which follows the nose. Low to moderate hop bitterness .
M: Low to moderate carbonation with balanced bitterness.
O: I like it. Usually I go for American IPA's that are from USA but this one wasn't bad, well balanced.

Pours amber with a large lasting head.
Nose shows lychee, passionfruit, nectarine and some delicate clean malt underneath.
Some of the fruit transfers through as a flavour along with a soft hit of clean malt and biscuity notes. Finishes with an assertive bitterness.
