Deep within the mist, Smog Rat lurks. Bounding through the shadows with bundles of hops, this rogue uses quick reflexes to navigate the foggy depths. Loaded with oats and a combo of Amarillo and Nelson Sauvin hops for a soft mouthfeel and intense profile.
Cloudy, thick. A hoppy and hefty double NEIPA packed with citrus fruits.

Cloudy, golden with a thin, creamy head. Faint lacing. Aroma of exotic fruit salad, with a hint of pine. Similar taste. Late pine and grapefruit albedo bitterness. Medium body with a velvety texture. Delicate effervescence. Definitely a sessionable experience, delicate, as if made for summer or a barbecue, and therefore dangerous.

440ml can from Tesco Extra in Chesterfield - Hazy gold body with a short lived white top. Fruity citrus punch, some herbal flowery hints, good mouthfeel. Very drinkable.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy golden body with a few flecks beneath a thin off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of tinned peach, apricot and orange jelly. Flavour of apricot and lemon sponge. Thin to medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is a bit sweet and cloying for me.

Can at home from Tesco. Substitution because the previous beer was a drain pour. This is all about crazy levels of hops and there are a hell of a lot of them. Maybe too many. But I suppose this is a DIPA so sessionable doesn't enter into the conversation. Nice to try....
