Aroma: Low-moderate caramel followed by light biscuit and bready notes. Hop aroma of citrus, pine and tropical fruit. Small bits of lemon and orange rind. Hops seem a bit muddled and confusing.
Appearance: Pours a hazy deep orange with a frothy white head that lasts. Fine CO2 bubbles and some nice lacing on the glass. Leaves a nice
Flavour: Upfront clean malt of light-medium caramel, biscuit. Hop flavour is moderate of citrusy orange rind, grapefruit and pine/resin. Bitterness is firm and lingers into the finish. Balanced for the style. Finishes dry and is well attenuated. Grassy notes upon warming.
Mouthfeel: Medium body which moderate carbonation. Sticky.
Overall: Nice looking beer that is approachable. This is a decent IPA that leans more on the classic side of the style by trying to introduce some fruity hops which slightly clash with the caramel malt. Aroma could be improved significantly with either some additional late/dry hopping. Not bad for the IPO, but not world class.

473ml can - lots of cheeky bravado around this new Cowtown contract brewing concern. I'm surprised Gordon Gecko isn't referenced on the label. Oh, and it's 'toe the company line'. Posers.
This beer pours a clear, medium copper amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves some decent stretched-out Swiss cheese pattern lace around the glass as it lazily subsides.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, buttery breakfast biscuits, muddled domestic citrus peel, and some plain earthy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, still hard to discern citrus rind, some damp minerality, and more leafy, musty, and resinous piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite tame in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight, and generally smooth, with just a touch of oily clamminess perhaps not making nice with the locals at this particular point in the process. It finishes off-dry, the buttery malt really starting to get on my last remaining nerve.
Overall - yeah, this 'offering' needs a trip back to the ol' drawing board, as something just seems a tad awry with it. It's not as bitterly hoppy as proclaimed, and the malt comes off as a bit, um, sick. Anyways, a valiant first try, better luck next time.
