Bumpy Road is a collaboration with our lovely friends at Beak Brewery; one of whom inadvertently enjoyed a trip across a farmer’s field on a way to a local hostelry during his last visit to us. We decided to brew a special double IPA together, combining both our California ale yeast and their London Fog strain to create a beer greater than the sum of its parts. Bumpy Road pours hazy, exuding aromas of Pineapple and Passionfruit. The body is soft and pillowy with a hint of bitterness; on the palate there is a profusion of sweet fruit.

Can at home. Hazy pale yellow color, full sized white head. Aroma is malts, oranges, nectarine. Flavor is similar. Nice hoppiness, decently bitter. More bitter after a couple of sips it seems. Fruity bitter. Not bad at all. Quite nice. --- Beer merged from original tick of Bumpy Road Double IPA on 14 Oct 2021 at 21:40 - Score: Appearance - 9 | Aroma - 8.5 | Flavor - 8.5 | Texture - 9 | Overall - 8.

Panda at home, thanks to Fergus, 22/05/21. Almost clear with a good sized off white head. Nose is bitter orange, melon, pine dusting, grass. Taste comprises orange peel, grass, light pine nip, melon, grapefruit, guava. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close splashed with balanced juicy hop bitterness. Decent easy drinking and approachable DIPA.
