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.

330 ml can from CASK Pub & Kitchen, London, bb 08/03/2017.
Amber, hazy body, with a big, fluffy, lacing, off-white head.
Aroma of passion fruit, citrus, mango, grass, some herbs, some onion.
Tastes pretty juicy, of grapefruit, passion fruit, mango, peach, grass, some herbs, lots of biscuit, honey.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes juicy, moderate bitter, alcohol warming, with lychee, tropical fruits, some biscuit, lingering pine.
Very nice. The nose isnโt that special, with some herbal/onion notes I donโt like too much. Taste is very nice though, with lots of juicy fruit notes and a big, sweet malt body. Overall on the heavy side, Iโve had stronger DIPAs that were easier to drink, but still a lovely style example.
