A black IPA brewed with speciality dark malts to produce a full and robust dark base beer. Centennial hops used hot side to give a subtle bitterness with flavours of pine & grapefruit. Dry hopped with Idaho 7 & Centennial for additional flavours of tropical fruits, grapefruit and pine.

440ml can. Pours almost black with a ton of chunky yeast (eventually settled), with a big beige head. Aroma of chocolate and roast malts, grapefruit, tropical fruit. Taste of grapefruit, pine, berries, dark chocolate, roast malt, pine, strong bitterness. Medium bodied.
Solid BIPA. Shame about the initial appearance but not too bad in the end.

Can from Hop Shop Aberdeen. Dark brown body with a thick beige head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of blueberries, black grapes and grass. Flavour of brambles and earthy hops. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. This is great - really interesting and berry-like.
