Poured up on tap at THE Barclays where it exhibits a clear copper body that has golden hues and supports a thin light tan head that leaves behind some sheet lacing. The aroma offers up malts and malt muted thick pine hoppiness as well as grassy green notes. The taste delivers thick malt nuanced sticky grapefruit and pine hops. To midway the malts build up with a slight sweet bread sensation amid a thick sea of pine and grapefruit like hops. This is a thick rich sipper. If you’re in the mood for a big sipper this will do the trick.

Klar. Doftar lagom fruktigt åh lite sött. Smakar mycket frukt å tyvär vissa vin toner som går åt Barely Wine hållet. Nära bli en jävligt bra Dipa men har precis blivit övermogen. God jävel.
