Draught at the brewpub. Hazy reddish. Strong grapefruit aroma. Sweet and thick with plenty of hop induced lychee and grapefruit flavour. Like in the other beers here the mouthfeel is syrupy and sticky. The finish is very bitter, but sticky sweetness still gets the upper hand.

Draught, at the brewery
Bronze colour. Bright. The aroma is very hoppy- an appetizing blend of florals, citrus, and resin. A little toasty. The body is very bitter, chewy, woody. There isn’t as much in here as other examples of the style and that’s why I like it - all the hops without so much crystal getting in the way. In light of what I said about this brewery’s IPA, this may seem hypocritical, but it’s not. The IIPA has just enough malt to make it work.
