Smash & Grab is an explosive hop-bomb of juicy goodness.
Crammed full of fruity tropical and citrus flavours from only the freshest, tastiest hops; this big hitting double IPA takes taste to the next level.
With smooth malty depths to match its huge hoppy highs, the finish is smooth, sharp and moreish.

Can thanks to Ken. It pours cloudy orange - amber with a thick off - white head. The aroma is fresh, bitter - sweet, juicy, pine needles, nectarine, stewed orange, mango and some sweet dank notes. The taste is smooth, decent bitterness, pine needles, peppery spice, grass, nectarine, mango, stewed orange, alcohol heat and soapy citrus with a lingering bitter - dry finish. Medium body and moderate foamy carbonation. Fresh and tasty. Very nice.

Can shared in London - many thanks to Kenneth. Pours hazy gold with a creamy, mostly white head. Nice aroma, lots of tropical fruits, light pine, melon, papaya. Medium sweet flavour with good dank edge, pale bread, more mango, melon, pine. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly warming on the finish, a little ruinous, with buckets of juicy, dank tropical fruits, more mango and papaya, understated pale malts. Wow, wonderful beer. World class.

330ml can from Beer Revolution, Hay on Wye. Pours murky orange, good off-white head. Aroma is fruity orange, tangerine, grapefruit. Taste is luscious, pithy exotic fruit, vanilla, sweet shop fruits. Big fruity presence here with a nice smooth mouthfeel. Bit of alcohol on the finish. Very nice DIPA.

Can. Mr. Pickles, Sheffield. Hazy, light amber. Film of dense, sticky, lasting, white head. A bit leggy. Looks boss. Nose has pink grapefruit. Pineapple. Tinned strawberry. Some ginger nut biscuit. Notes of white peach and ripe orange. Taste is chewy, fruity sweet, turning oily, resinous bitter. Full, jammy mouthfeel. Soft and oily. Long, fruity, resinous bitter finish. Super tasty, smooth, oily DIPA. Lovely stuff.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge, on its launch night. Clear golden-amber with a thick creamy head. Has a smooth tasting texture, with a heavy strength, but itโs well hopped and has plenty of tropical fruitiness, with a lingering dryness in this respect in its aftertaste.
