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.

On tap @ Haandfest 2014. This is a near clear golden one. Only a small sidesticking white head. Smells nice. I get a little bit of fresh grass happyhoppiness mixed with zesty fruits. Really fresh and grassy aroma. Not bad at all. Tastes really nice. Lots of caramel sweetness but never sweet in any way. Fresh and refreshing. Light oily in he mouth and soft prickling on the bubbles. This is actually quite a nice one! Would not mind a revisit here to get a more proper rating. 24.05.2014

Draught@HBF2014. Hazy orange colour, small white foamy head. Aroma is tropical fruits, zest, some sweet malt and mild nuttyness. Flavour is quite biscuity with strong tropical fruit notes. Very pleasantly balanced. The 100 % vienna does give it a strange malty body, but in a way that suits the beer very well too.

Keg at Brewdog Shepard’s bush. End of the keg with a lot of yeast in suspension. Closed golden colour pour with sticky off white head. Aroma is pine and lemon hop. Some biscuit and light caramel malts in the nose. Flavour is nice rounded hop profile with resin and citrus zest. Palate is medium bodied, a little Milky on account of the yeast and medium carbonation. Flavour has a nice caramel note as well. Nice smooth assertive clean bitterness.
