The Billy Bishop is a double IPA that focuses on aromatic hops. With its deep gold colour, the high bitterness of this beer pairs perfectly with the fruity and exotic taste of the hops that were used. The massive dry hopping makes this beer highly aromatic, fruity, and exotic.

A fluffy white head with ample and sustained lacing. Golden amber body. The nose features rich malt, bitter citrus notes and some fruit rind. The 100 IBU hop profile is front and centre. Big fruit elements with grapefruit, orange rind, lemon and a touch of pine. Chewy malt balances the bitterness. A bit of boozy warmth in the finish. Rich and slick. A real winner.

473ml can. Pours a hazy amber-orange with a medium, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves thick, soapy curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of caramel malt, orange peel, cantaloupe and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of biscuity caramel malt orange peel, grapefruit and pine resin in a dry, bitter hop finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. A well balanced, old school DIPA.

Pours a slight hazed, amber colour with a golden hue. The head is nice, big, frothy, somewhat creamy, light yellow-beige coloured with good retention and creamy-bubbly lacing. Fruity aromas of the citrusy hops with some grassy notes and yeast. The mouthfeel is dry enough. The bitterness is creeping up a lot and lingers. Citrus hops and much grassiness. All well-balanced and goes down nicely.

Bottle from Broue Ha Ha at the farm. Hazy peach amber pour with sticky white head. Aroma is caramel malty and dusty but also dank fruitiness. Okay. Taste is big citrus pith bitterness with sweet malty richness to match. Lasting tart bitterness. Palate is rich but not syrupy. Solid DIPA.
