Bottle 138 of 336, purchased at the brewery. I note it was around 3 months past its BB date when I bought it. Rich fruity resinous aroma with a decent dose of booze. Opaque amber. Thick creamy white head. Medium bitter with a fruity vinous edge providing primarily a sour streak but also some hints of sweetness. Boozy whisky throughout. The bitterness increases in strength. Is the phrase, hop burn? Medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Long astringent finish. A complex sipper of a TrIPA. To my poor man's palate the fact that it's 9 months past it's BB date hasn't had a diminishing effect.

17th Sep 2018; monthly beer share in Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury, usual five suspects in attendance. Cheers Paolo for 330ml bottle number 67 of this this (BB 8th Jan 2019). Misty amber body, wispy topping. Mini-sour from start to finish, light citrus aroma and taste; not really my thing.

330ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie Sep '18. Thanks Paolo for this. Pours misty golden amber. Actually carbonated this time. Wild funky floral aroma. Taste is crisp, wild sour with hoppy tropical mosaic, amarillo, wild funk, very distant whisky influence. Tasty.

Hazy orange beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and mildly viscous. Decent minerally carbonation. Smooth malts provide a modicum of sweetness. Dominant flavours are a good balance of savoury and tangy brett, slighty woody whiskey and ripe orange and orange peel. Light finish. Pretty similar to Mk.1 but noticeably lighter on it's toes. I hope they do this again but dry hop it big time.
