Review and Tasting

Sampled on 04/12/2012

Appearance:

Cloudy coppery amber with one finger thick ivory-coloured head and moderate lacing.

Aroma:

Blackcurrant boiled sweets, caramel, orange zest and pine needles.

Taste:

This American styled IPA is on the bitter side, slightly aggressively so but with equally powerful malty note. Grapefruit zest and dark fruit sweetness.

Aftertaste:

Lingering pine bitterness.
