First, the styling I get from UnTappd. Because of the heavy hops, I'd have styled this an APA. But I go with the flow. Bought on-line from south London's Hops Burns & Black. (Their two stores are close to proud Peckham.)

Celebrating their tenth year, Elusive clearly is in the Next Wave of British brewing and seem to be a force within it. They help organise an annual collaboration "contest." Last year's had 10 micros. (I'd only drank brews from only 4 of them, so my 6 months here -- all that is allowed foreigners -- is not as comprehensive as I thought.) Anyhow, Elusive's business reminds me of several micros in North America who did well by encouraging their "competitors." And for that, I give Elusive excellent Overall Hugs.

As for Menace, I enjoyed it... but probably won't again. It could use a more lasting foam and its average Looks are a bit hazy for EPAs. Smells are better with aromatic hops kicking up fruit and maybe some pine. Tastes are too heavy hoppy for this malt-head to appreciate; I call it average for EPAs, a gentle style. Medium-mouthed, though with lots going on. Cheers !
