Pours a slightly hazy orange/honey color with a dense creamy off white head. Became rocky and spongy as it disappated. Aromas of sweet malt. Fruit and a zesty with a slightly perfumey citrus hop bitterness.
Big hop taste upfront. Lots of citrus, mainly grapefruit. Sweet malt and a bit of fruit in the background. Spicy hop bitterness in the finish that really lingered on the tongue.
Full creamy mouthfeel with good carbonation. A tasty drop.

Light orange gold color. Medium beige foamy head. Aroma is malty and fruity. Medium bodied IPA. Malts are nutty, fruity and sweet. Hops are grapefruity and slightly spicy. Nicely balanced. Smooth taste. Nice, subtle and flavorful IPA. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Stopped by this little known out of the way pub to try out it's brew. This IPA poured a cloudy golden amber, head was great and lace coated the conical British pint glass. We're off to a great start. Taste was very hoppy and citrusy. I thought of grapefruit and even a little orange peel. A fine pint I say.
