A special edition brew for our Second Birthday! The artwork was gifted to us by the amazing Kid Machine. Manchester's Kid Machine makes music that takes massive inspiration from the Italo Disco/Electro sound of the 1980s. He is one of the original artists and crew members of Red Laser Records (also from Manchester). His second LP 'Space Elite' was released in 2016. Double dry hopped DIPA with Galaxy, fermented with London III.

Can ordered online from Beautiful Beers, drunk at home. Dark yellow/ochre and impenetrably hazy. Tpuches of peach, melon and grapefruit peel in the aroma. Taste is fruit juice sweet/sour, with an acrid finish. Very little carbonation. Doesn't really hang together all that well.

Vies hazy. Ziet er niet uit. Verder iets te zesty, vervelend bitter.

Keg, shared with Holmen2 and Finn at Port Street Beer House. Murky grey-golden body, lacing rings down the glass from a filmy layer. Moderate smell of ripe citrus. Mid-sweet citrus flavours joined by a mango bite. Warming, rather sweet fruity end sustained by noticeable alcohol. Satisfying. (Manchester 25.01.2020).

From tap at Port Street Beer House, Manchester, with Finn and Rune 25.01.20. Muddy pale greysish straw colour. Strong aroma and taste of pineappke, pine shoots, grapefruit, succade and dried citrus. Grapefruit bitterness, and sweetness, is lingering on.

Delt med Rune. Gusjegrågul. Juiceaktig. Litt skumring. Stygg! Metallisk sitrusaroma. Smaken som aromaen. God fylde. Søt bitter avslutning.

Can shared in Canary Wharf, London - cheers to Kenny. Pours murky gold with a frothy, white head. Not great, really chalky, almost ashy, with notes of lemon peel, alcohol. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish, chalky, boozy, smokey, vaguely citrusy. Not great.

Can split at L6 Xmas Karnage tasting, thanks to Kenny, 19/12/19. Murky orange with a decent off white cap. Nose is ripe citric flesh, weed, pine resin, melon. Taste comprises raw pineapple, grass, grapefruits, orange pith, light minerality, weed. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with semi aggressive hop bitterness. Ok DIPA if a touch on the raw side.
