Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours a hazy golden with a dense off-white head. Very fresh peachy hop aroma. Rich body, sweet and fruity with quite a load of peachy hops. Ends bitter. But enjoyable throughout. 150812

Keg at Euston Tap, London. A hazy copper coloured pour with a healthy beige head on top. A musty, malty, tropical fruit aroma. Tastes malty, bitter, slightly sweet, some tropical fruit, grapefruit in there, a bit musty. A little unbalanced but actually itโs not bad.

330 ml bought @ The Bottle Shop Canterbury. Pours hazy brownish orange with a small creamy offwhite head that quickly dissipates without leaving much trace. Smell is sweet and spicy hoppy with caramel, resinous wood, butterscotch, earthy tobacco, grapefruit juice, orange peal, lemon peal, wet leaves, gooseberries, onions, bread and subtle hints of rotten eggs. Taste is sweet, bitter and spicy with gooseberries, chives, tobacco, wet leaves, lemon balm, grapefruit juice, lemon zest, compost, fresh grass, moss, dill, current leaves and hints of cape gooseberries and wet soil. Mouthfeel is soft, oily bitter and medium bodied. Finish is tiny sweet and bitter with fresh grass, pine, old bread, tobacco, onions, moss and currant leaves. Interesting...ย

33cl bottle from The Bottle Shop, Canterbury. Hazy deep copper lasting beige head. Oh dear, diacetyl. Yep lots of diacetyl to start with and then good hops. But there is so much butter in this its difficult to get a read on this beer. It will disappear so will buy a bottle again in a few weeks to see if it has disappeared. Rest of beer is fine.

Bottle @ The Caley
Deep amber, clear, think dense white head that dissipates, good lacing
Aroma - caramel malts, yeast, candy sugar, very soft citrus, bit of odd mustiness
Taste - Fairly malty - caramel malts, soft bitter citrus hops, yeasty, some tangy zest, candy sugar, rich flavour, bit of orange and lemon in there, quite complex subtle flavour, not over hoppy, well blended
Palate - medium carb, medium to full body, very smooth, soft mouthfeel. Finish as main flavour, bit dry, lingering bitter but nowhere near as much as some of the other swb beers.
Overall - Bit too easy to drink, not the best DIPA and not over hoppy, but I did like it

330ml bottle. Pours a hazy dark amber with a small head. Aroma is caramel malt, mango and cake. Pretty faint. Taste is sticky malt to start. Piney bitter finish with some alcohol. Low carbonation but pretty full in the mouth.

Bottle from SW Online Store. It pours hazy deep amber, with a thin bubbly white head. The nose is citrus pith, grapefruit, kiwi, mango, resin and pine. The taste is pine, resin, citrus pith and zest, aggressive bitterness, alcohol warmth, leaf and raw hop, with a long, very bitter-dry finish. Medium body and low carbonation. Damn thatโs bitter! Flavoursome, but not overly drinkable.
