From a 330ml bottle on 3/5/2015 (shared by Butz with thanks). Bottle makes no ref to Hop Trap but says ’Special Release’. Pours a clear golden with not much of a head. Has a light malty aroma not particularly typical of either an IPA or Belgian ale. Flavour wise, caramel malt and citrus fruit dominate, followed by a quite astringent, slightly chemical bitterness which lingers. The palate is slightly syrupy and the carbonation average. A bit of an odd one this, not bad but not notable.

Amber with a small white head. Aroma of grapefruit, dried peaches and mango, grapes, biscuit, spices. Light bodied, a bit thin for 6% really. Lots of grapefruit, more tropical fruit than suggested by the aroma. Quite bitter and peppery at the end. OK, but didn’t quite hang together as a whole for me.
