Neck Oil

Brewery: Beavertown Brewery
Supplier: Honest Brew

The last of the Honest Brew box. Part of their core range, this is their sessionable IPA. It is made with a simple base, but with lots of late addition hops with about eight different varieties used. I served this chilled.
Appearance: Hazy, and a pale straw colour. The head is medium and white, it thins but lingers. 
Aroma: Lots of hop resin mixed in with peach and white sugar notes. 
Flavour: Mainly cereal notes coupled with a little flour. There aren't many hop notes in, especially for the amount that is in the nose. 
Body: Light, but not that light. It makes it seem more of a substantial drink. 
Aftertaste: The aftertaste is just the same cereal notes. 

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, it is what it says, a nice sessionable IPA, but that is it.

Price Range: The last from the box 6 beers for £9, so this worked out as £1.50 for a 330ml can; a good price and worth getting for something like a party.

Food Pairings: The refreshing simplicity of this would go with something spicy like mexican food.
