Bottle share at Mr Smith’s Stratoflat. Big thanks to LKS for the IIPA tick! Hazy amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry with decent fine carbonation. Good creamy malts with a touch of caramel. Good piney hops, some hop skunk and hop spice. Mild marmalade. Trace of tropical fruits in the light spicy finish. Nice one!

Bottle split at LKS, thanks to the host with the most, 03/09/15. Lightly hazed amber with a decent beige cap. Nose is caramel malt forward, earthy hop presence, candied fruit peel, spice, biscuit crumble. Taste comprises bitter tropicana, cheesecake base, caramel, light spice, red grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with earthy hop bitterness. Ok DIPA, ticks the boxes for the style.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours hazy deep red with a small yellow-beige head. The nose is bitter-sweet, red berry, blood orange, mango and jammy fruits. The taste is bitter, toasty, orange rind, blood orange, mango, waxy rind, wood and some alcohol with a smooth, bitter finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Decent stuff.
