As juicy and aromatic as fruit IPA's come. This beer is dry and subtly tart because of the chokeberries. We've packed in punchy Mosaic hops to make this one helluva thirst quenching IPA.

Brewdog Shepherds Bush. Keg. Thanks to Jackie and Simon. Hazy gold beer, small white head. Palate is smooth, semi dry and has mild fine carbonation. Smooth malts, little thin cream. Good hops -mellow skunk, pine and a little hop spice. The berries come through at the end and fairly mellow. Semi dry finish, bitterish linger. Still not convinced most berries are suitable for an IPA, but this is a decent one.

Keg at BD CJ. It pours hazy deep orange - amber with a decent white head. The nose is big, crazy juicy, Um Bungo!!!, passion fruit, mango and berry. The taste is crisp, bitter, yet soft, rather juicy, tropical fruits, light spice, berry skin, piney resin and raspberry ripple with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Aroma is pretty spectacular. Juicy and fruity. Great.

Keg at BrewDog Shoreditch - London. Pours unclear gold with a creamy white head. Lovely aroma, lots of jammy fruit, what I would suppose is chokeberry, a little spicy pine. Medium sweet flavor with juicy citrus fruits, mandarin orange, tangerine, gooey pine. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, a little hop resin and alcohol warmth, some pale bready sweetness. Very nice beer.
