Double IPA
Big name. Bigger flavour.
This one pours soft and golden with that proper pillowy haze, then rolls in with waves of juicy citrus and sweet orange from a generous hit of Amarillo. There’s a touch of ripe stone fruit in there too, wrapped up in a smooth, creamy body thanks to all that oat and wheat goodness.
It’s 8.2%, but don’t let that scare you. The bitterness is kept nicely in check, so it drinks dangerously easy for something packing this much punch. Juicy. Full. Silky.
A DIPA that means business — without shouting about it. Crack one open and let the dreams begin.
Malt: Maris Otter, Wheat Malt, Oat Malt, Carapils
Dry Hop: Amarillo T90 & CGX
Note: 8.0% on the can.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 22/10/20. Murky fruit smoothie orange with a decent off white cap. Nose is bitter orange, pine resin, grapefruit, light dank chimes. Taste comprises grapefruit zest, bitter orange, pine resin, weed, ripe melon, papaya. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with lightly aggressive grassy hop bitterness. Solid hop works from Whiplash .... as is the norm.

Can shared by Colin. Yellow color, white head. Smell and taste malts, hops, sweetish tropical fruit hops. Nothing out of the ordinary these days but pretty nice. I like it.

Can sourced from Kihoskh and shared at home (10/09/2020) - hazy yellow to orange with a white head. Vibrant tropical fruity action with lots of pineapple and papaya, grapefruit, mandarin, touch of hop spice, rindy tempered bitterness, assertive hoppy finish. Lovely.

Can, 8.0%. Great grassy and caramelly aroma. Cloudy golden colour. Small frothy white head. The flavour starts is sweet and rather (too) grassy. Like a milkshake which has been dry hopped for too long.
