    Pours translucent apricot wit a serviceable eggshell head. Aroma features citrus and fresh hop notes. Flavor delivers piney hops, citrus and fresh malt. Mouthfeel presents OK body and peppy fizz. Get your Cornish on.

    500 ml capped bottle, as a 5.5 % ABV. Poured in an English tulip pint glass a clear golden-amber-orange coloured IPA with a generous and huge four fingers slight beige and pillowy foamy head that had a very long retention and tons of micro bubbles. Soft carbonation. Good lacing. The aroma is powerful aromatic hops with fruity and piney tones on a solid sweety malty backbone. The flavour is a floor under the palate, spicy, bitter orange peels, fruity, citrus, grapefruits, oranges, dried fruits, walnuts, caramel malts and biscuits, fruity hops. The mouthfeel is thick, fulled, even a bit sticky but smooth. This medium bodied IPA has a lingering fruity and hoppy bitter finish. An English IPA entering the way of the US IPA, with Cascade, Chinook and Willamette hops ! I enjoy and I agree !

    500 ml bottle from Zyn (Calgary). Bottle conditioned and "Powerfully Hopped" according to the label. Poured a cleaer, medium gold under a huge white head which good retention and lacig. Nose was indeed quited hopped for a U.K. IPA, and also featured obvious grapefruit notes. Flavour was equally hopped and grapefruity. Above average mouthfeel, and the sediment in the second half of the bottle resulted in considerable cloudiness. Tart yet not sour at the finish. Refreshing, and maybe the best U.K. IPA I've had.

    500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Also available in Norway at Vinmonopolet. Bottle conditioned, ABV is 5.5%. Called an "IPA" by the brewery. Clear golden colour, big white head. Pleasant aroma of fruity American hops, notes of pineapple and other tropical fruits, also some citrus. The flavour has a substantial sweetness, malty and sugary notes, partly balanced by a noticeable hoppy bitterness, which becomes piney and resinous in the finish, slightly metallic in the aftertaste.

    Sampled at the Cask in London. I expected more flavor since the pump handle advertised "heavily hopped." Overall not a bad ale though. Copper color with a small creamy head. Agree with previous review of flavor. Wood, spice and a little fruity hops.

    Cask@The Cove. Clear golden colour, mediumsized creamy head. Aroma is fruity hops, honey and wood. Flavour is very wooden and slightly fruity. Also some slight spicyness noted, as it get a bit warmer.
