Our first in a serious of new IPA’s, our Comet Launcher is a nod to our newly found delight in the Comet hop. Blended with some of our other favourites, this stronger IPA has a lovely aroma and wonderful malt balance with pine and grapefruit flavours most prominent.

On tap at the brewery. Has a good gold body but was poured a bit too high and lacks foam. Aroma is good wet fresh juice. Flavour is okay wet hoppy character with strong sugar. Mouthfeel is wet and sweet. This is an okay bigger IPA but lacks finesse.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy golden color, creamy head. The aroma is too mild, just some piney hops. The mouthfeel is smooth, ok body strength, bready but mild malt base, resiny hopping, but also traces of vegetables, maybe a lack of familiarity with high gravity beers.
Not bad.

Bottle. Has a light brown colour. There is a soft aroma has a little bit of peachy note from the hops. The hops are muted, the malts mellow...it seems like a muted double IPA, clean but bland.

Bottle - Caramel and oily hops. Clearish gold with a decent white head. Caramel, bread and a touch of hops. Clean but really simple.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy copper orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is loaded with sweet caramel malt, subdued resinous hops, and cloying sugar. Flavour is quite sweet, with subdued earthy hops, bready notes, and light caramel malt. This isn't properly calibrated. Too sweet, earthy and lacking any depth or complexity. Meh.
