Designed for dankness, this thick Double IPA is loaded with Mosaic and Columbus for the resinous dank punch, balanced by a dash of zesty Motueka.

A fantastic IPA with an inviting burst of juicy citrus and ripe stone-fruit aromas. The palate is beautifully balanced, combining vibrant hop character with a smooth, refreshing bitterness. Notes of peach, grapefruit and tropical fruit shine through without overpowering the beerโs crisp finish. Exceptionally fresh and full of flavour, with a wonderfully clean and lingering hop profile. A superb IPA from start to finish

440ml can from Left Field Beer, Solihull. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, dank, piney. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a smooth, rich, grassy, rich, dank, juicy tropical citrus, mango, light pineapple, light dry hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Over medium bodied with average carbonation. Classic Beak!

Panda thanks to Cloin. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin bodied pale malts, a thin but adequate creamy sweetness Columbus filth immediately obvious, that skunky almost rubbery streak. Light but persistent hop spice. Light and slightly tangy citrus. Mosaic candy fruits finally peeping through on the back end. Always found this hop combo curious, like pairing Hilda Ogden with Audrey Hepburn on a night out. But, just like that pairing would be, entertaining!

TCBW2026. Hazy yellowish golden colour with a mediumsized foamy white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is fruity, floral, oaty, some citrusy and zesty tones. Flavour is quite similar to the aroma in a rather refreshing way.

white head. Aroma has soft stone fruit and citrus with a more sour and resinous edge. Flavourwise is similar- initial sweet pulpy stone fruit followed by a more bitter and edge with added sourness. Medium bodied. Slick to creamy. Slightly pithy. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable bitter but with a soft centre.
