Bottle at the "Dean is a cheap bastard tasting cos he let Rene buy a beer from the shop and then asked to taste it for the tick" tasting. Hazy orange color, medium sized white head. Aroma is lightly malts, a lot of hops, fruit hops. Taste lightly malts, hops, some resin, bitter, pine. Lovely beer. Very nice!

Apparently inspired by Spiteful Brewing in Chicago, this is labelled as a ’double pale ale’ yet more than hoppy enough to qualify as an IPA. Medium thick, stable, yellowish white, beautifully lacing, perfectly equal head over a warm orangey blonde, lightly hazy beer. Very powerful yet gracious hop aroma, impressions of grapefruit peel, sweet tobacco, tonic water, hemp, white grapes, freshly grated ginger, mango, vanilla, orange, aniseed, rosewater, almond, butterscotch, straw, sage, bourbon. Delicate exotic fruit sweetness in onset (pineapple, red berry, papaja, orange), medium carbo, sourish touch for balance, on a soft, bready and caramelly maltiness, vivid yeasty spiciness too, with an extremely powerful and drying, complex, ’green’, resinous, herbal, citrussy hop bitterness unfolding in the back of the mouth, bringing the whole to a perfect balance, without any astringent alcohol. A hop head’s delight, this is absolutely delicious; the hop bitter finish is among the longest I ever experienced - I could swear I still had its hop taste in the back of my mouth when I woke up the next morning. The bottle wasn’t cheap to buy here in Belgium but worth every penny.
