We changed tack slightly with our new IPA, looking for more body and intensity of flavour we used a 100% Vienna Malt base to give the beer a biscuity malt backbone. We then got thoroughly sinful with an outrageous hopping schedule featuring a scandalous combination of tropically fruity US hops. mango, papaya, guava, grapefruit & citrus combine for a wickedly juicy flavour filled experience & a fiendishly moreish bitterness full of Villainous intent.

Aroma of bready malt, caramel, tropical fruits, some citrus, hoppy notes. Flavour is moderate sweet with a moderate to medium bitter finish. An IPA with a strong malty backbone.

Keg at Brewdog Camden, London.
Amber, hazy body, with a big, creamy, lacing, yellowish head
Aroma of pine, earth, grapefruit, passion fruit, some pineapple, biscuit.
Taste follows this, with some more honey.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes bitter, dry, zesty, earthy, a bit yeasty, a bit biscuity.
Really nice. Straight and bitter, with a well balance between piney hops and a quite broad, smooth malt body. Nothing outstanding overall, but quaffable stuff.

Deep golden color. Very clean malty nose with the Vienna malt really shining. Mouth is smooth medium, but this beer is all about the Vienna malts.

Third, draught at Bundobust in Leeds. Cloudy amber coloured body. Stable filmy layer at the surface. Malt-fruity aroma. Blended taste profile of grapefruit and brown malts backed by resinous bitterness towards the ending. Well bodied. Soft on the swallow. Pleasant (08.07.2015).
