ABV: 8.1% IBU: - Ticks: 31
Why Not is a double IPA brewed with 20% UK rye malt. We added piney hops Simcoe and Chinook in the whirlpool which marry with the spiciness of the rye. For a more tropical touch, we dry hopped with Moteuka, Galaxy, and Cryo Simcoe to bring the hops bursting into the foreground. But there is no hiding the rye here as the beer has a copper/amber appearance, and coming in at 8.1% ABV it has a full body and big finish. Why Not will remind you of an old school Rye DIPA with an upgrade to today’s hazy/double dry-hopped expectations.

Can. Hazy orange beer, small cream colour head. Smooth palate, but feels weighty, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth and semi dry pale malts bring a dry creamy sweetness. Hops are crisp pine and rich orange, tangerine and mandarin, fairly ripe. Orange peel. Mild hop spice. Decent but after the stellar Velociraptor dipa before, this feels unclean and slightly, very slightly gritty.

Can from my Beer Beyond Advent Calendar, had this today Wednesday 8th December 2021 listening to Steve Lamaqs Evening Session on 6Music we have a Mushroom and Bacon Carbonara. Pours murky, milky warm yellowy colour with a white head. Soft moutheel, super juicy, a complete mish-mash of tropical and citrus fruit, a lot of grapefruit, a little buzzy edge. Very good but a bit sweet. As I have said a million times this is not my preferred style, however I can always appreciate a solid example.

Pours unclear, deep amber. Small white head. Scent is spicy (by the rye, obviously no heat spice ) Very creamy. Taste is full, medium creamyness. Clear rye notes (it's not hidden! ) milder hops - I'd say nearing 50/50 between rye and hops in terms of aroma's. Lovely. Perhaps a bit hopweak for an IPA, but surely nice and fun to drink !
