Ride the Storm is a Double IPA with a shake-like texture and an expressive fruit-forward profile. Oats provide a creamy, silky base that wraps around each sip and supports the intensity of the style.
On the nose, Simcoe, Eclipse, Cashmere add bright citrus, melon and red berry notes, creating a broad and vibrant aromatic profile. On the palate, riper fruit comes through, backed by a subtle resinous edge that adds depth.
It’s an intense beer, slightly sweet, yet built with balance.
Bold, electric and enveloping.

Panda from Colin. Dark brown-tinged orange - probably didn't originally look like that. Thin foamy white head. Aroma is surprisingly low key. Fruit, resin and grains. Flavourwise it's then has more life to it - candied fruit and vanilla porridge. Slightly sour edge and a hint of bitterness into the finish. Medium bodied. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Too sweet.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 25/04/2026.
Hazed orange topped with a white cap that dissipates to a swirl.
Nose is citric tinged straw, pineapple, melon, mixed tropicana.
Taste comprises bitter orange, grapefruit, pine needle, melon, grass, papaya.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with juicy come grassy hop bitterness allied to a mellow rising boost.
Tidy enough old skool leaning DIPA.
