Little Raven Australian DIPA

Pours amber with a large head.Nose shows honey, spicy and herbal hops, soft caramel.Flavours include more spicy and herbal hops, some soft clean malt, a bit of booze and an assertive bitterness.

Bottle.Hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of winery orange juice, lime, underripe tropical fruit, rockmelon. 7+ Creamy texture. Very juicy with loads of fruit and some bread. Moderate bitterness - or maybe its tempered a little by the less than clean texture. A little alcohol and menthol at the end. I thought this either needed to be a little more refined or rather more rambunctious. But it’s pretty good. [3.5] A second, colder c 8C bottle a week later I liked a little better as the bitterness stands out a little more.
