This tentacled terminator packs a punch - ten punches to be precise. Each hop addition adds to the intense layers of depth in this red rye IPA. Toasty caramel & cinder toffee from crystal malts, cacao richness from intensely roasted malt and the spiciness of rye. Zesty pithiness from citra and the robust resin of chinook. This small batch exclusive brew is up-front intensity matched with twisted complexity.
The can features awesome custom art from Joe Wilson.

Can 33cl. Ambrée, col épais, crémeux et blanc-cassé. Arôme est très plaisant centré sur une attaque massive de houblons C laissant de superbes effluves de résineux, pin, et léger agrumes. Malt procure une certaine balance niveau cara et fin chocolaté. Peu en terme de seigle. Palais est superbement bien houblonné et balancé, énorme le profil du Chinook - résineux à souhait. Malt apporte une certaine douceur crystal et léger chocolaté. Pointe de grillé et épice venant du seigle qui confère aussi une certaine épaisseur en bouche.

Can. An amber colored beer, hazy, and with a dense, finger-thick light beige head. Spiced, caramel-ish, bread-ish aroma with pine cones, resins, some orange zest and a peppery rye touch. Licorice hints. It’s full-bodied, smooth and with a nice bitterness. Resins, pine cones, citrus zest, licorice hints and a touch of bread and toffee in the flavor, all lasting for a good while. A fine beer indeed, although a tad on the bready, malty side. 160422

330ml can from SIP, Tallinn. BBE 16/12/16. Pours dark reddish orange with a smooth white head. Aroma of caramely malts, crisp biscuity notes, grassy and herbal hops, hints of rye and citrus. Taste is smooth, crisp and malty with some herbal hops, grass, pine and rye. Finish is malty, sweetish and herbal hoppy with some grass and pine. Okay.

Medium beige head. Clear deep dark red body. Earthy funky aroma with fruity notes. A bit messy and indistinct. Sweetish fruity pineapple taste with funky notes. Mid-bodied. Mildish, fizzy mouthfeel. Dryish resiny pineapple aftertaste with fruit salad notes. I didn’t enjoy this very much. Hop profile is too messy, and the rye winds up just disturbing the hop riot. (0.33l can, from somewhere in Edinburgh, I think.)
