This double IPA is brewed with the same grain bill each time, but the late hops in each version will be whatever we think will wreak most havoc on your pallets.

12th August 2013CP&K. Cask. Citra & Pacific Gem version. Hazy deep amber beer, littlw white head. Palate is soft and slightl6 viscous. Sweetish malt with spicy hops. Sweetish generic citrus and a touch of floralness. Whisper of wood! Light dry finish with a good spicy hop linger and a parting gift of tropical fruits. There is a good beer in here somewhere but I think the cask conditioning is concealing it. Look forward to trying this on keg.

Cask at Cask Pub and Kitchen, Pimlico, London. A hazy amber coloured pour with a small white head on top. Hoppy, tropical fruit aroma. Tastes really rich, hoppy, tropical fruit, peach, some caramel in there, quite sweet. My kind of DIPA.

Cask at CPK - London. Pours cloudy orange with a slight, creamy off-white head. The aroma holds lots of ripe fruits, orange, mango, melon. Medium to big sweet flavor with sweaty and well ripened fruits, bready malts, melon, orange, hints of oily pine, alcohol. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Good and resinous to finish with lightly toasted bread, juicy citrus, oily pine. Pretty hefty stuff overall but still quite drinkable for the ABV.

Cask at CP&K. It pours hazy amber with a small white head. The nose is pine, varnish, resin, orange, tangerine, grapefruit, brown bread and earth. The taste is earthy, resinous, toast, spice, stewed orange, grapefruit, pretty bitter, brown bread and decent alcohol kick with a bitter, warming finish. Med+ body, fine carbonation and oily mouth-feel. A bit rough around the edges... Big for sure, but I would prefer it to be a bit cleaner. Still decent enough.
