Tap at the brewery. Slight haze. Light amber. Light tropical and grapefruit hops with light crystal malt. Earthy standard IPA character.

This beer is dominated by a flavour of coriander and parsley, which is really not my thing. There’s plenty of hops to like about it, but I just can’t get that aftertaste out of my mouth.

Pours dark amber with a large, lasting mousse-like head.Nose shows lovely sweet clean malt with a cookie dough-like hint, musk sticks, fruity confectionery and mango/paw paw/rockmelon. Lovely.Toned down flavours, some sweet clean malt, grapefruit, pine and bready notes leading to an aggressive sharp bitterness.Carbonation is a bit over the top.

From a 330ml bottle on 7/5/2014. Pours a cloudy dark golden with a big foamy white head. Has a slightly odd, sweet, fruity, yeasty aroma, with some bubblegum in the mix. Take a sip and it’s the malt that holds sway, with lots of bread and some caramel. Some sweet citrus fruit follows, along with a medium spicy bitterness. Has a fullish body and is a touch over-carbed. This is a bit of a strange beast - I wouldn’t really pick it as an IPA blind, as it barely resembles the typical US style. There’s more malt than hops here, notwithstanding the spicy kick at the end (there is perhaps a hint of a rye IPA there). The body is fullish and it’s perhaps just a touch over-carbed. I actually quite enjoyed it after my initial puzzlement, but real hop heads may be a bit disappointed.The monkey on the label is pretty cool though.

Bottle, 8C. Amber with a white head. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, spices, bread crusts.A little soapy. Sweet bread crusts, lots of pine, kumquat, grapefruit, spices. Doesn’t dry out all that much, bitterness and zesty aromatics struggle to break through the sweetness a bit, although not so much as the first I tried which was not so cold. Solid.
