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.

Draught @ HBF ’14
Aroma is hoppy with lots of grapefruit. Quite nothing else. Flavour is also rather hoppy with grapefruit, some minerals and gooseberry bush. Feels slightly watery at the end. Good.

Tap at Brewdog, Sheffield. Amber, with a thick, white head. Caramel biscuit. Overripe strawberry. Light, ginger spice, maybe. Sweet, ginger biscuit taste, prior to a grapefruit juice bitterness kicking in. Light, oily resin on the palate. The biscuit hangs about on the finish, along with the pithy bitterness.
