Double hopped with 100% USA sourced Citra hops. Green Devil is the big brother of our best selling Oakham Citra and very much the beer (a big, high ABV contemporary IPA) that our Brewing Director John Bryan envisaged brewing when he first discovered the Citra hop variety back in 2009.
Colour: Golden
Hops: Citra (USA)
Malts: Maris Otter and Wheat Malt
Allergens: Contains Gluten

16/01/2013 Bir&Fud Bottega (660ml bottle). Dorata viva, leggermente aranciata, limpida, schiuma bianca morbida abbondante, mediamente persistente. Al naso è potente e pungente, con sentori agrumati. In bocca è molto amara, monotona e stancante alla lunga, il corpo è medio-moderato e la carbonazione corretta. Discreta, ma non ha nulla dell’eleganza delle birre inglesi. Mi aspettavo di più.

Bottle from Ninas, Edinburgh 110113
Light yellow, clear, thin white head, little lacing
Aroma - Very hoppy, juicy grapefruit, passion fruit, mango, pineapple, quite resinous, zesty, fresh juicy hops here, light pale malt, great aroma
Taste as aroma, juicy hops, grapefruit, mango, pineapple, nice sweet very pale malt background, well balanced, good drinkability
Palate - Thin to medium body, fairly oily, easy drinking, bittersweet palate, sweet pale malts keeps it from getting too bitter. Finish as main flavour, fruity zesty bitter hops, not too dry, smooth and a bit oily
Overall - The best Oakham ale I’ve had - a really good IPA, one of the best UK ones I’ve tried

660ml bottle from The Crafty Pint, Darlington market. Pours a clear golden amber colour, foamy white head and a spicy fruity hop aroma with passionfruit, grapefruit & mango notes. Immediate hit of sharp tangy hop bitterness with fruity grapefruit and pine, and then a long lingering dry bitter finish. Medium bodied and well balanced. Very drinkable.

Bottle from Beer Ritz, Leeds. Vivid golden pour with a nice white head. Big hoppy snout with plenty of tropical fruit notes that promised good things. The flavour duly delivered with the citra hops singing from the rooftops in tandem with juicy citrus and a little balancing sweet malt. Robust bitter finish. This ticked a lot of boxes for me.Top class.... Citra hops are the bomb.

66cl Bottle at UDRBM, from deeblo, thanks a lot Bruce! Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma of huge Citra hops, citrus, tropical fruits, light ammonia, almost cloying. Flavour of very fresh citrus, crisp malts, zingy tropical fruits, lovely hoppy bitter finish. Great smooth IPA, of Kernel quality.

Review is a combination of bottle and cask. Golden body with a fluffy white head that holds well. Lots of sticky lacing. Aroma of pineapple, lemon, passionfruit and mango, with subtle grassy, resin and biscuit notes. Lovely juicy tropical fruit flavours. Very hoppy and refreshing - I love the Citra hop and this showcases it perfectly. Not a great deal of malt character, but who cares? This is amazing. Bitter finish and barely a hint of its 6.0% ABV. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. A brilliant beer. For me, it is a stronger, hoppier, turbo-charged version of the (also amazing) Jarl by Fyne Ales.

660ml bottle from Corks of Cotham, Bristol. Clear gold in colour with a tight white head and plenty of carbonation. Massive, Crisp, slightly creamy aroma of mango, grapefruit and pine. Flavour had a solid, biscuity malt back bone, more tropical fruits, tangerines and a lingering, dryish finish. Excellent.

660ml Bottle - Amber with lively carbonation and a foamy head. Grapefruit, pine, mango and pineapple in the aroma. Grapefruit, gooseberries, mango, passion fruit and pineapple feature in the deliciously hoppy taste.

Bottle 8 Beer tasting club – Had this a number times before and a great way to end a USA tasting session with a beer from the UK. That shows there is a growing number of great brewers in the UK producing USA style IPA’s. Straw yellow loads of citra hops superb citrus and grapefruit taste.
