Fresh 2020 iteration. Can direct from brewery. Amber. Almost dirty sock (and malt) on nose. Lovely mix of pine and dark bread malts. Feels old school and substantial.

Aroma of caramel, pine needles, spearmint and stone fruit are magnificent. Strong pine flavour in the mouth with lashings of that caramel. Easy drinking for an IIPA.

Pours amber with a large head.Nose shows piny and resinous hops along with some tropical fruit and heavy clean malt.Flavours include more pine and resinous hops, a fair whack of booze, heavy clean malt and an aggressive bitterness.

Bottle. Clear golden amber with a modest white head. Aroma of grapefruit, bitter oranges , lime, some pine. Quite sweet with peach and light bread, then plenty of citrus and pine. Some untidy twiggy herbal notes before strong bitterness at the end. Just a little solventy there too. Pretty good and only a little off .2-.3 higher.
