An extra IPA that will take you on an Intergalactic joyride. This India Pale Ale hits you with a blast of hop aromas in the nose like passion fruit and lemon that gradually develops into pineapple and orange split ice lolly notes. Flavours of candied fruit, grapefruit and orange peel add to this interplanetary taste adventure which culminates in a bitter hoppy refreshing finish.

Flaska inköpt i Dublin. Bärnstensfärgad vätska med gräddvitt skum. Kakig, brödig doft med en hint av grape. Kakigheten återkommer i smaken. Ganska beskedlig men god britt-ipa.

Bottle from Dunnes, Longford [200315]
Copper dark amber, clear, frothy white head, some lacing
Aroma of citrus zest, caramel matls, dab of toffee malt, resinous hops, some fruity malt, sweet caramel
Taste of caramel, hop resins, citrus zest, lots of bitter hops, much more bitter than fruity, quite malty, robust flavour
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, fairly oily, sweet malts, lots of bitter hops, alcohol fairly noticeable. Finish is very bitter (but not too much) with the sweet malt in background keeping it in check
Overall - Prefer IPAs less malty than this, but it’s decent enough. Plenty of punch.

500mL bottle at home. Pours an amber gold, medium off white head, some lacing on the glass, head dissipates quickly. Aroma of pine and citrus, so so aroma, seams a little muted for some reason. Full oily mouthfeel, very bitter, went way too far with the bittering hops and not far enough on the aroma hops. Nice malt backbone on this, finish is bitter and long. Overall this is ok but too much pain without the pleasure.
