A strange flip has happened since those glory days of covid when everyone was chinning cans of DIPA in their back gardens. The demand was consistently for the strongest, the hoppiest, the most hype-forward and boy did we fill our boots. That wave might have hit a crest and broken now but we’re still of the opinion that when we break out a DIPA it’s go big or go home. Within Reason takes this mindset and runs with it full force – classic pillowy soft Polly’s DIPA body with an intense dry hop charge utilising only the freshest and hype driven hops we can get our hands on. Supercharged with in house favourite Nectaron, Luminosa, Cryo Superdelic and Dolcita Lupomax, this huge beer is dripping with super soft peach, coconut, and passionfruit notes, paired with boiled sweets, cream, and raspberries before an bright whisper of citrus peel bitterness balances things.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 30/05/2026.
Murky orang topped with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is lychee, mandarin, grapefruit, pine resin.
Taste comprises grass, ripe melon, mixed tropicana, hint of stone fruit.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come resinous hop bitterness.
Tidy DIPA.

Can. Hazy slightly yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, getting on for semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied and dry feeling pale malts bring a light creamy sweetness. Crisp cooling pine hops intro along with a hop spice nibble. Light savoury skunk. A quartet of modern punchy hops. The delivery is not quite what I wanted. There is stone fruits, touches of berries and touches of lemon. Remarkably, Dolcita is somewhat on the back foot and there is just a trace of pineapple and even less coconut. Crisp hop spicy finish. Look, this is a good all round dipa. It's just my expectations, with this fantastic hop bill, I was expecting something mid to high 8s.
