S.L.A.S.M. is our most Aromatic IPA. This India Pale Ale is very reminiscent of the hop’s cousin in the Mulberry family. Lots of hop aroma with just the right amount of bitterness as we like to keep balance around here. Between the secret blend of the most DANK hops we can get our hands on and a "more than healthy" dose of double dry hopping, this beer can be announced to the nose from across the room that someone is definitely having a Safety Meeting.

Well crafted, top to bottom. A lush orange/caramel body with a solid, well laced off-white head. The nose features dank hops from the dry hopping, dried fruit, booze and bready malt. The dank hops continue in the taste profile. Rindy hops, caramel, dried sweet fruit, apricots and smooth sweet malt work well together. A balanced finish, rich but not sticky body and roasted malt aftertaste all work for me.

Can. This one is 8.5%. Appearance - amber to copper. And bright. Lovely fluffy off white head. Nose - cake mixture and candied orange. Taste - baked cake and slightly burnt. Palate - close to medium bodied with a crunchy texture. Dry crunchy finish. Overall - good, if not really an IPA.

Bottle from the Great Beer Bar, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a clear medium to dark amber with a big lasting frothy white head. The aroma is big resin, woody hop, light fruit. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a crisp, malt, resin, light fruit, big dry woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
