Throwback IPA may be mid-strength, but it’s certainly no shrinking violet. Wielding a broad malt profile and a generous whack of hops, this expertly crafted session IPA continues to satisfy beer drinkers the world over. From Port Adelaide to Penang, there’s nothing quite like a Throwy…
The nose shows lifted notes of citrus and pine, with an underlying sappy, resinous quality. Its dank and slightly herbaceous. On the palate, oven baked biscuit and toffee malt develops quickly in to bright and juicy citrus. Grapefruit and lemon present well, pairing with a vibrant, sherbet like texture. The finish is fresh, with a pleasant lingering bitterness and a hint of spice.

On tap at Coedo Hong Kong. A bit hazy golden/amber with a white head. Mild with hops, grapefruit, grass and some malt. The body was on the light side and the bitterness was medium.

Can from Brewdog Tallinn. Pours golden yellow, some nice fluffy white foam on top, that reduces quite quickly. Nose is nice fresh and fruity, light tropical fruits, papaya, melon and pear. tastes light, hoppy, so light its even watery. Still has enough flavour to feel tasty and enough hops to pop, especially for 3,5%. Pretty good, would work great in outdoors.

Can bought at Piccadilly Tap, Manchester. Near-clear orange-gold body, crocheted lacing and pearl white head. Restrained aroma of oily hops. Pears, mango and hints of oily hops to the taste buds. Easy going. (Student flat, Leeds 06.07.2017).

355ml can. Cloudy, orangey golden colour with small to average, frothy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy hoppy aroma, notes of lemon tea, lemon biscuit, caramel malty basis, seemingly in regular IPA strength, but finally shaping up as slightly ephemeral. Taste is bitter hoppy, slightly citrusy, minimally strawy, hints of lemon, lemon tea; bitter, slightly mineral and chalky finish.

(Can) Pours hazy amber with good, but short lived, white head. Excellent aroma of pine and grapefruit with floral hints. Light body with plenty of carbonation but a bit fizzy. The taste is good for the medium alcohol content, but a little thin. There’s plenty of hops to it though, including in the long finish. The malt is pleasant but a little light. Very drinkable and for a mid strength it’s very good.
