Derail is a traditional hoppy IPA brewed from Admiral, Cascade and Chinook hops and we ask that when you enjoy a glass you raise it to Bristol’s forgotten hero, John Chiddy.

Bottle from Aldi Supermarket, Keighley. Golden with a small head. Full-bodied brew but still very drinkable with a lightly malty-sweet flavour alongside a decent hoppiness.

Das Bier wird zwar als IPA beim Diskonter LIDL verkauft wird, aber gleich nach dem ersten Schluck wird klar, dass das nicht ganz passen kann. Es ist unglaublich bitter und weist sonst nicht viele Aromen auf. Es ist ein plumpes Bier, das einfach nicht schmecken will, außer man kennt sich nicht aus oder steht auf brachiale BItterkeit ohne Körper und Charakter.

500 ml bottle. Clear amber coloured, creamy head. Some pine, some tropical fruits like mango, orange zest, some metallic notes, some caramel. Metallic bitterness, light malty sweetness. Light bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, dry bitter finish. Okay!

Mislim da je kupljena u Lidlu. Ima lijepu bakrenu boju. Bez pjene totalno. Okus gorak. Bez dvojbe bitter po vrsti. Poprilično neukusno.

Color ámbar oscuro con destellos dorados y color madera. Espuma blanca jabonosa, de burbuja grande y persistente. Se perciben aromas a malta, pan y lupulos, aroma fresco y herbal. En boca, sabores a malta, caramelo y miel, dejando paso a un final amargo del lupulo. Deja buen retrogusto herbal y amargo. Carbonatacion media alta que la hace muy refrescante. Buena cerveza por su precio aunque se acerca más a una English bitter ale que a una IPA

500mml. bottle tasted on the 05/06/2018 at home. Clear dark golden colour with a low off-white head. Aroma is hay, sweet malts, citrus and floral hops. Taste is floral with a strong presence of malts and hay leading to a medium bitter and sweet finish. Next one please!

Bottled 500ml. -from local Lidl Zagreb. Clear golden coloured, medium sized off-white head, mild malty herbal nose. Light toasted malt, caramel, mild fruity and slightly herbal hoppy with rather dry bitter finish. Drinkable.

Bottle from the Lidl @ Lanište, Zagreb. Pretty nice shiny amber body, lasting slightly off white head. Mild spicy hoppy notes, vague orange candy, bit dry. Similar, soft taste, clean, malty, spicy-orange candy mild hops, lightly herbal, with just a weak touch of herbal bitterness in the aftertaste. Won't thrill anyone, but this is a solid, okay drinkable stronger bitter, in no way an IPA though, and that moniker might be its undoing.
