Bottle from Bottledog in London. Very hazy dark orange-amber pour, a bit grey. Aroma is big juicy hops - pineapple and mango. Taste is less hoppy, but some fruity bitterness. More clear/clean tasting than expected for DIPA - palate not as rich either. Good but not great DIPA.

On tap at Cock Tavern RBESG14. Hazy gold lasting white head. Very hoppy almost cheesy hop flavour. Pretty bitter on the finish. Just a bit too full on for my delicate palate. Some heat on the finish. Hops have a subtle cheese flavour.

Pours gold with a small head.Nose shows lychee, hot alcohol, corn-like industrial notes, pine and peach.Harsh flavours too with more solventy alcohol and the corn notes. Some light sweet clean malt and a fair whack of pine and grapefruit.Body feels a bit watery. Very warming.

330mL bottle, pours a cloudy darker orange with a large white foamy head. Nose brings out truckloads of grassy pils hops, some spice, and corn - very inviting aromatics. Flavour is very well-balanced, bringing out varied notes of corn, spicy and grassy hops, and maybe a slight biscuity malt backing. Spicy, grassy, and hoppy, with full carbonation. Excellent stuff.

A hazed golden amber ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, strange fruit malt, with light catty and floral hops, light sulfur, interesting. In mouth, a grainy malt with loads of alcohol, light coriander, floral and piney, light catty notes, interesting. On tap at redlight redlight.

Bottle. Amber with an inch of white head that lasts very well. Aroma of lemon, lime, honey, peach, cantaloupe. Creamy texture, quite high carbonation. There’s a fair bit of sweetness, but bitterness comes in straight away. Citrus is zestier (and more grapefruity) than suggested by the aroma. A melange of tropical and stone fruit and a bit of a rush with the citrus towards a rather dry and fairly bitter finish. Some pine and pepper show up there too. Kept thinking I’d started this too cold and some more depth and charm might emerge, but it never loosened up. Still pretty good though.
