Introducing our Double IPA, hit with a High Density Hop Charge and heavy dry hop of Citra, Mosaic, Amarillo, and Chinook. In total, we hopped this up with 34g per litre.
Juicy hits of citrus, candied peach,with cantaloupe melon on the finish.
And an ABV to make you ask ‘and where has all of the day gone?’"

Can. Hazy orange - gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, quite silky, decent fine carbonation. Smooth but light malts, a nice level of creamy sweetness. The hop bill starts with smooth pine and a nice level of nibbly hop spice. This leads to quite a smorgasboard of tropical goodness, much more than I would expect from Citra, Amarillo and Chinook and I have long given up expecting anything from Mosaic. Nonetheless there is pineapple and cantaloupe melon here underpinned by a light tangerine led citrus. A little citric peel bite on the end, along with more nibbly hop spice. A delight. A fruit cocktail of a dipa that never lets you forget that this hop bourne fruity goodness. Great stuff.

Can ordered from Premier Hop, Pudsey. Aroma has stone fruit with a soft sugary edge. Hazy pale neon orange. Frothy white head is blotchy. Light bitter. Sour edge. Stone fruit and citrus. As I drink more the bitterness increases with a resinous streak. Syrupy sweetness in the underbelly. Boozy bite. Medium bodied. Slick. Pithy. Average carbonation. Dry finish. Easy drinking DIPA... although at this stage it's one of those beers that may as well be a NEDIPA.

Hazy yellow, fluffy white head. Smells stone fruit, something tropical, bit dank. Very soft mouthfeel. Taste is sweet, fruity, bitter in the aftertaste. Lovely amounts of mango, some pine, bit of pineapple and some dark citrus. Easy, lovely.
