Expect a facial onslaught of intense character. Big hops, Big malt, Big booze. This beer commands your attention with every sip.
Five years ago on the ominous date of September 11th we got our hands on the keys to an industrial unit in Fratton, Portsmouth. It's been an emotional evolution to where we are now and it feels like we're still only just at the beginning.
To celebrate we're launching our first ever TIPA we're calling 'SG5' in reference to our upcoming birthday and, as it would happen, the nickname of a Triceratops' fossilised skull found near the Rocky mountains.

Can. Yellow colored, like fruit juice. Fresh hops, green tea and mango juice in the aroma, juicy, sweetish but firmly hopped flavor. Green hops in the finish. Nice!

Can from Indiebeer, Holloway. Aroma is low key. Grassy over the top. Underlying and then prominent sugary sweet stone fruit. Waxy looking hazy pale orange juice in colour. Bubbly translucent white head soon shrinks away. Initia burst of sweetness - tinned fruit in syrup. This is followed by a streak of tart bitterness but the syrupy fruit rises this. Some spice in the. Thick bodied. Creamy. Average prickly carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Having been nonplussed by some of their earlier brews SG seem to really be hitting their mark now. A perfect beer to celebrate their 5th birthday.

Can. Cloudy yellow gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is pretty dry but has decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin but creamy sweet malts. Dry hops. Dry and pithy citrus, tangy, spicy and a little bitter. A vague chemical thing going on. Fairly dry finish. Something gone askew here. These is no shortage of hops, none whatsoever but this dry pithy and chemical taste makes it pretty hard to drink. Staggeringly not good I am afraid chaps.

440ml can. Super hazy, massively hoppy and stingy with loads of herbal notes, intense hop burn and hints of dankness. Quite extreme. Massive amounts of hop burn even after one month since canning.

440ml can. Murky yellow, thin head. Aroma is dank and weedy, pineapple. Taste is dank, weedy, pineapple, grapefruit, pine, tropical fruits, fair bit of hop burn at the end, though the alcohol is quite well hidden. Medium-full bodied, moderate carbonation. Probably a bit green at the moment, it's a little harsh.
