What about the beer?
Colour is hazy golden yellow with huge white head. Aroma has sweet citrus, mango, grass and malts. Taste begins with sparkling hoppy bite. Gently bitter-sour grapefruit takes over with a dry piny note. Malty character and sweetish lime with a touch of peel comes through near the finish. Aftertaste has fresh bitter grapefruit and some malty dryness.

Very drinkable, not overly hopped India Pale Ale. In the flavour there's a nice palette of citrus, which is supported by smooth dryness and tasty malts. Not for the wildest hopheads, but for ones who like a softer and fruitier approach to the style.

As the word wild doesn't in this case imply to crazy-hopped brew but rather nicely fruity IPA, we don't go searching for a hard or punk rock song. Exceptionally, we go relatively near to the brew's birthplace with this entertaining piece of new wave dance rock from a Birmingham-based band:

From the 1984 album Arena, the song was written by Duran Duran.
