The second run of our Sour IPA range, this time with a variant yeast strain and a huge dry hop of Citra & Enigma for more stone fruit and tropical notes. We think sour IPAs have a lot to reveal, and we want to take you on that discovery.

Аромат потрясный. Ощущается весьма необычные нотки хмеля Энигма а также много цитрусов, как будто лайм, немного лимона, персик,нектарин а также ананас и немного маракуйи. Цвет необычный, полу мутный, очень темно желтый, пенка неплохая, долго держится, мыльная. Вкус тоже очень сбалансированный. Ощущаются прежде всего снова цитрусовые. Уже прям корочка от апельсина или грейпфрута, снова лайм есть. Некие специи, но немного, особенно при глотке. В послевкусие много хмеля приходит с солодовым осадком на языке. Новая волна лайма также. Горячи идеально столько сколько надо. В целом просто отличная кислая ипашка хмелевая.

Dense, just off-white head, bit lacey and stable over hazy orange-golden beer. Exotic fruit, citrus, but with an agressive overtone as from both hopoil and mustard, some vegetable oil. More of the same in the mouth. This strange, part weyish, part aromatic flavour (mustard with lemon and a bucket of rosewater???) is pervading, and I cannot say I'm a big fan. Old oranges, warming up lightly oxydated grains. Sharp acidity, dry-out effect, acidthinning. Good carbonation. Weird. Noch vis, noch vlees.

More sour than ipa. Fruity and citrusy, sour and tart. Fresh and spritzy. Nice.

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from HB&B online. Pours lightly hazy gold with a big, frothy white head. Really good stuff, nice tart-juicy character, lemon, oranges, tangerine, mellow piney accents, subtle acidity. Light to medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Tart, quenching finish, more juicy citrus character, citric bite too, relaxed pine, salt. Tasty and effortlessly drinkable.

375ml bottle. Hazy golden, white head. Aroma of zesty citrus, lemon, lime, grapefruit. Taste is juicy and tart citrus, sherbety lemon and lime, gooseberry, elderflower, tropical fruits, a touch of creamy/yoghurty sweetness from the lactose. Medium body and carbonation. Outstanding. Probably the best sour IPA I've ever had to date.

Light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light but pretty smooth palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth light malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Nicely piney citric hops but somewhat outmuscled by lemonade and lemon marmalade. Finish gets a little watery thin (hey it's a SIPA, less for your money everytime) and leaves a light lemon acid burn in the aftertaste. It's alright but I'm swallowing the hype even less than I am swallowing this beer.
