There's always so much going on. It's no surprise that, from time to time, even thoughts that are merely days old seem to slip through the ever-loosened cracks of your mind.

As much as those beloved, intimate memories of yours try to grapple themselves deep into the fragile canvas of your psyche, the ruthless grinder that is time will still tear them off, leaving them to drift into the unknown.

No choice but to consent, and hope that at least some of them will be back to visit you. Sometime.

Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth start to the palate but some very fine minerally carbonation ensures there is a snap here. Smooth malts, a very nice level of creamy sweetness. Pretty much spot on for me and for this sort of DIPA. Nice choice of hops. HBC586 brings its slightly ripe tropical fruit melange, hard to pick out individual fruits in this one, but the overall impression is pleasingly tropical. And what goes with tropical fruits? Coconut! Smooth creamy coconut from the HBC472, none of the obvious pineapple of its sibling, Sabro, but it's not needed here and would have eclipsed the HBC586. Other hop characteristics in this very chuggable dipa - crisp pine, a light hop spice, mild tang. Minerally crisp finish leaves a mild spice tingling on. Nearly finished the can whilst writing this review. Just demands you come back and drink more. Well if you insist....

500ml can. Murky golden, white head. Aroma of coconut and sweet tropical fruits. Taste is sweet, coconut (but less in your face than Sabro), tropical, mango, peach, melon, a little grapefruit zest, low bitterness. Medium-full body, soft. Superb DIPA.
