A straight up, no nonsense DIPA with a delicate malt bill allowing the juicy hops to take centre stage.

Keg at BD Soho, 13/03/17. Hazed orange amber topped with a well appointed light beige swirl. Nose is sticky tropicana, pine needle, dank hop exhaust, pungent citric peel. Taste comprises red grapefruit, mango, pine needle, orange pith, light white peppery spice, toasted grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi aggressive hop bitterness in the close with a rising boost level offered complemented by a dankish nip. Solid DIPA action.

Keg at BD Soho. It pours hazy reddish - amber with a medium white head. The aroma is rich, bitter - sweet, piney, resinous, spring onion, slightly herbal, stewed orange, peach, marmalade and a touch of toffee. The taste is big, bold, punchy bitterness, drying, piney filth, resinous, grapefruit, orange peel, lychee, bit of toffee, peppery spice, bit of booze and oily character with a lingering bitter - dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Punchy and flavoursome. Maybe a touch heavy, but I am being picky. Good stuff overall.

Keg at Brewdog Soho, London. A hazy golden/orange coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, orange, caramel on the nose. Tastes hoppy, orange, caramel, bitter/ sweet. Very nice DIPA. I’m a big fan of Pilot, good to see them at GBBF the last couple of years.
