A powerfully hopped Cornish IPA is what the bottle promises, and it delivers. Its bottle conditioned which is always lovely to see, but it pour with a near perfect head and fizz. A lovely fresh aroma of grassy hops builds expectation to the first sip.
It starts with an unexpected sweet caramel taste, with a lovely tongue coating creaminess, shut your eyes you could be drinking the draught product here. What follows in this initial surprise is a dial tone of hopiness and bitter notes. It starts midway through the taste and grips the taste buds until the finish and beyond.
8/10 A fantastic bottled beer, perfectly conditioned, a smooth but powerful IPA.
