Can. Clear golden amber with a thick frothy head.
Mellow hoppy aroma. Citrus. Light caramel discerned.
Flavour disappoints. Subdued fruity hops and a bit metallic.
Middling body and rather low carbonation.

A pretty reasonable UK version of a west coast IPA. Looks and smells the business. Taste is muted and faintly metallic, however, and the low ABV pretty much kills the mouthfeel. I know this is intended to be a session IPA but I fail to see the point. The best west coast IPAs are big and bold and sticky.

Can, M&S

Pours clear copper, smallish head

New world hoppy nose, mango/some citrus

Similar flavours, a bit more robust malt presence than other session IPAs especially at this abv.

Good effort

Surprisingly solid session IPA. Packs lots of hops into a 4%. One note? Maybe but not that far off dead pony.

Canned
Presumably a session IPA
Light yellow body massive foaming white head that stays
Big citra aroma
There in the flavour with some malt backing it up
The big flavour and low abv does make it seem a bit thin
A bit unbalanced but alright
