It was snowing hops when our friends from Flying Couch landed in Finchampstead! This beast of a Triple IPA hit a blizzard of Ekuanot, Mosaic, Columbus, Simcoe and Chinook to create juicy, dank and fruity notes, balanced with some sweetness from the hefty malt backbone. Drink fresh and expect a warming ale packed full of hops with notes of spice.

Bottiglia. Territorio olfattivo dominato dal luppolo e sentori terrosi. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido è di consistenza trasparente. La frizzantezza si presenta sotto forma di bollicine fini. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il finale è pastoso e amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma è quello di caramello, miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, erba, agrumi, pera, spezie, citronella e cream caramel.

From tap at Taplokaal Gist, Utrecht, during the Siren tap takeover. Aroma is ripe fruity and piney hops with orange, tangerine, grapefruit, marmalade, malt, some caramel, resin, and ripe tropical fruits. Flavour is medium sweet and bitter. Body is above medium. Heavy but not boozy, mostly ripe fruits with a resin / malt structure. Nice.

From a 330ml bottle on 16/12/2018 (shared with Butz). Pours a relatively clear golden with smallish head. Has a powerful dank, fruity aroma with hints of spice. The flavour is intense and complex - a big biscuit and caramel malt backbone, followed by heaps of sweet and sour fruit (orange, apricot and lemon). Has huge resiny hops and the back, and is a touch boozy in the finish. Not perfect but a pretty impressive late night sipper.

An imperial IPA by this new generation English craft brewer in collaboration with Flying Couch (which I never heard of); bottle at Beerlovers Bar, thanks Jan for sharing. Egg-white, medium thick, quickly opening head lacing in shreds over a hazy amber-tinged orange blonde beer. Very strong nose of toasted onions, green olives, pink grapefruit flesh, capers, chicken spices, old frying oil, red bell pepper, gin, bitter honey, toasted garlic, marijuana. Restrainedly sweetish onset, dried mango and apricot aspects, some light pineapple somewhere, sourish undertone, softish carb, full and very oily, vinous mouthfeel as it ought to be for an IIPA. Delicious biscuit and cracker-like maltiness underneath a powerful, highly aromatic, resinous, olive-, onion-, garlic- and pine-scented hoppiness depositing a very firm, sturdy bitterness on the root of the tongue, highlighted by very outspoken – and frankly insufficiently hidden – gin-like, peppery alcohol. Very old school IIPA indeed, a (sub)style you don’t see very often anymore – this is a blast from a very recent past, so to speak, but a good one, if the alcohol to my taste could have been a bit more discreet even for a boozy, vinous IIPA.

Bottle from Inn At Home, Guildford. Sweet resin and floral aroma, with a hint of booze. Dark amber. Hazy. Thin off-white head. Heavy bitter with some underlying fruity sourness and syrup sweetness. Medium-thick bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Dry and astringent finish. Not necessarily a summer beer - and it would be warming during a blizzard - but a enjoyable fruity and post TIPA.
