Our gluten-free, vegan friendly session IPA has a clean citrus aroma that gives way to a fruity hop flavour. Flavours of tropical and citrus fruits, with hints of pine and blueberry are perfectly balanced by its complex malt base, giving it a flavoursome yet refreshing profile.

Canned. Orange colour with a small white head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is tropical fruits and mild bready tones. Flavour is biscuity malts with some tropical fruits, spruce and mild grassy bitterness to it as well. Pleasant lingering bitterness in the finish and aftertaste.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Almost clear deep golden, small head. Zesty tangerine aroma. Dry with light body and crisp, rounded mouthfeel. Tangerine, grapefruit and bread. Long bitter finish. Nice!

330ml can; BB 22nd Mar 2021. Drank at home on 9th Sep 2020. Light haze to the pale golden body, white affair on top. Mild citrus front to the nose and taste, grapefruit lead (maybe). OK overall and nothing to upset anyone flavour or aroma wise.

330ml can. Pale hazy yellow with small frothy head, decent retention and lacing. Hoppy aroma of grapefruit, pineapple and flora. Taste is fruity, a little sweet and then a floral grassy note kicks in with a moderate bitterness. Body is light to moderate (fine for a session version) and carbonation is low and soft on the palate. It ticks all the right boxes for a session IPA without particularly standing out. Nice though.

330ml can from Morrison’s. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, mineral, light tropical citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate to light bitter and sweet, with a crisp, light, slightly watery, fruity, light dry hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Nice, but clearly brewed at the supermarket price point.
