Bottle 120 of 240, bought at the brewery. Floral aroma with a touch of the vinous. Soapy. Chestnut. Fluffy off-white head. Sour. Vinous. Some berry sweetness - red currants or similar. Underlying bitterness, more obvious into the boozy finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Unlike the previous TrIPA from Little Earth I just had this isn't so hoppy and boozy. The red is the key for me - berries and sherry. Only 4 months past the BB. Lovely smooth TrIPA with a teasing bite.

Very limitedly made barrel-aged red IPA - a combination of style features I haven't seen so far... Thanks to Loik for sharing this 167th bottle of only 240 in total. Pale yellowish egg-white, mousy, irregular head, hazy copper robe with ruddy hue. Interesting and intriguing aroma, candied orange peel, wet wood, old medicine, very dry oloroso, hard caramel candy, fermenting peanuts, polishing wax, dried red berries, cheese rind. Fruity onset, weird but not unpleasant blue plum and white grape effects, something cranberry-like, softish carbonation, slick and rounded mouthfeel, resinous; dryish middle, quite complex with the sherry-induced tartness adding a whole different layer of flavour to a basic profile of hard caramel- and dried citrus peel-like red IPA character. Long citrusy and wormwoody hop bitterness enhanced by drying tannins, woody and dry sherry-like effects, some vague cheesiness and something subtly medicinal, ending a tad wry. Not for everyone, this experiment, but in itself an intriguing and innovative beer sparking my interest in this progressive craft brewer's range. Glad I encountered this unusual creation.

Keg at IMBC 2018, session 1. Pours mostly clear copper with a creamy topping. Asssertve, some tangy berries, moderate acidity, some alcohol, earth, funk. Medium to full bodied, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, more tangy berries, earth, leather. Not bad. But not really a DIPA.

Keg at Brewdog, Norwich. Pours hazed reddish amber with a cream head. Aroma: herbal, hoppy, lightly medicinal, sherry wood. Taste: light to moderate sweet & light bitter, earthy hops, mellow brett, sherry, orange, hint of caramel. Medium body, soft carb, dry-ish close. Another pretty fascinating beer from LEP

Light haze on this darkish amber beer, small cream colour head. Smooth palate, decent fine carbonation. Much like the original tripa this one fascinates with it's good savoury but not overwhelming brett. Touch of wood. The sherry vibe here is fairly obvious but never sweet or cloying. Ripe orange and a little marmalade remind you that this is supposed to be a dipa, and whilst that sometimes seems like a stretch it would be a struggle to place it anywhere else other than barleywine. Rich and fruity and complex. Once again, Little Earth impresses in this department.
