I've been pretty lucky with all the American craft beer IPAs I've tried recently and this one was no different. A nice thick rocky head was maintained by a surging attack of thin beading. Quite distinctive with a juicy slightly sweetish bitterness which gives an almost gingery peppery quality to it. Could easily get goosed on this if I had more. Quality from start to finish. And to think that this is just a middling quality IPA among other a host of other more seemingly better versions.

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

Appearance: Clear. Golden amber. A decent lace of head lasts throughout the duration.
Smell: Pine and citrus.
Taste: Malty, grapefruit. Bitter finish.
Mouthfeel: Well balanced. Dry.

I really like this English IPA. It is quite malty. The moderate bitterness is enjoyable. The grapefruit and pine are refreshing. Honestly, it's close to an American IPA. I would probably get this again.

Pours a golden copper color with a finger of head, some of which sticks around for a bit leaving nice lacing on the glass. The nose has hop notes and some lemon as well. The flavor is a solid combination of malt and hops and the finish is dry and bitter. This is a pretty good offering for a single IPA.
