An already full-flavoured IPA is made even bigger by using fresh ‘green’ hops infused into the slowly conditioned beer. Designed for those who like their hops as an extreme sport!

Cask at Craft Beer Co in Covent Garden. Fresh hop beer...I'm told it is just the classic fuggles/EKG combo, but haven't been able to find that in print anywhere. Pours a clear light gold with small head (cask pour) that is creamy and sticks all over the glass. Nose is a bit mild for an IPA, but maybe a tad more pronounced than most cask IPAs. Floral and citrus, maybe a touch of mint. Taste is...holy shit...flavorful. Liquid hops. Floral, earthy, fruity...my tongue is tingling. Quite bitter. Mouthfeel is cask. Overall, both a slap-in-the-face beer and the kind of beer that makes you wonder why there aren't a hell of a lot more people doing something similar.

Tap at The Volunteer Tavern, Bristol - Pours golden with a small white head. Nice lacing. Aroma - huge hop hit, citrus - grapefruit/passion fruit, resin backdrop. Taste - huge hit of hops again, citrus at the front, resin and floral overtones with a crisp refreshing light bitter finish. Lovely hopped up but not overwhelming IPA.
Retried Oct 2018 on cask @ Inglenook Hotel, Bognor Regis - Just as nice as previous.

Pale amber clear body with huge foaming white head
Aggressive hop led aroma elements of cigar smoke and fresh cut basil
Insanely hoppy which creates a smokey & menthol mix that remains pleasant and only slightly bitter
Big head, Big Aromas, Big Flavours slightly lacking mouthfeel though perfect carbonation
Really tasty huge hops going on without being completely overpowering
very impressed
