Tap at Bungalow. Yokohama Bay Brewing Piledriver Double IPA 7.5% Looking at reviews online that slagged this beer I almost didn’t order it but then I saw they were from 2016 and more recent reviews on a different site were much better so it looks like after 2 years they’ve started to get this beer right. Cloudy honey gold with a a really fresh citrusy hop bouquet with dank highlights around the edges. Quite full bodied with a slightly slick but smooth mouthfeel. The taste is old skool IPA, dank piney resinous with light citrus. It’s not amazing but it is a solid clean well made Double IPA in the classic bitter piney mold that is worth trying, especially if you like bitter brews/are a hop head. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap at Oedo. Caramel, oranges, diacetyl nose. Bitter and rough, with orange hops. Not very good.

light amber. Way too sweet and light, with dms. Not the best. Ok, but wouldn’t order again
