Firstly, away at Imperial in Mexborough along with Isaac from Catalan brewery Reptilian. Isaac’s favourite style is Double IPA (His IBUprofano weighs in at 9.5% and 256IBU!), so Dave and Dale were happy to indulge… As it was brewed the weekend after Britain lost its collective mind, the brew is named ‘Turkeys Voting for Xmas’, and is 8.5% and a slightly more restrained 130IBU.
A base of pale malt and oats keeps the colour as light as possible, while fermenting out as far as the yeast would go means it avoids the stickiness and booziness found in many DIPAs, allowing the Centennial, Citra, Chinook and El Dorado hops to shine.

Cask @ Cellar Bar, Chester [310816]
Dark amber, clear, dense white head, good lacing
Aroma of sweet malts, syrup fruits
Taste of sweet malts, barley sugar, citrus fruits, sweet fruity pale caramel
Palate - Full body, rather sweet, light booze, alcohol well hidden for a cask DIPA. Finish is dry, bittr zest hops, sweet malt, dab of alcohol, very bitter tail
Overall - This was quite decent on cask, normally not a fan of cask DIPAs as they are usually too sweet and boozy, but this was far more drinkable than usual
