Appearance: A very rich/deep golden colour. The head is a medium peach-tinted white head, that dies down to a thin layer.
Aroma: Lots of citrus and lychee hop notes with some deeper malt notes.
Flavour: Not a huge amount of flavour on the front, most of it is in the aftertaste. What is here is a trace of sweet malt and citrus hops
Body: Quite syrupy for a pale ale, but with this quantity of hops it works quite well.
Aftertaste: Some quite rich cereal and honey notes with some hoppy bitterness.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, really nice to drink, one you could enjoy for a couple of beers. Not hugely different from other hoppy IPAs though.
Price Range: Another from the box 8 for £14 - so £1.75 for a 330ml bottle; worth the price, a nice beer but one that isn't unique. I would get it again if there wasn't something new to try.
Food Pairings: A good cheese board with lots of strong hard cheeses, along with some quince jelly and lingonberry jam.
