No Brakes IPA

◎ Appearance

Golden amber hue with bright clarity and a fine, persistent white head that holds well around the rim. The carbonation is lively but moderate, lending the beer a clean, inviting visual presence typical of well-executed cask conditioning.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—grapefruit and orange zest—driven forward by classic American hop character. English malts contribute a subtle sweetness and light bread-like undertone that grounds the aromatic profile without overwhelming the hop expression.

◐ Taste

Fruity citrus flavours dominate the entry, carried by the American hop selection and balanced by the English malt backbone. The mid-palate shows good body and a touch of residual sweetness that prevents harshness; bitterness builds steadily to a moderate 60 IBU finish without becoming sharp or astringent.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is dry and lingering, with hop bitterness gradually fading while the malt sweetness recedes cleanly. At 5.9% ABV, the alcohol warmth is gentle and well-integrated, allowing the finish to remain crisp and refreshing.
