We brewed this Black IPA, West Coast style, with all the C hops. Roasty, bready and hoppy - perfect for the incoming colder evenings.

330ml can from Beer52 - Deepest brown body with a thick lasting beige foam. Big piney nose, lots of oomph from the hops, very citrussy but also with a nice oily mouthfeel which adds a silky touch to the drink, some roasted malty flavours, but not too much. Close your eyes and this is a 7%+ golden IPA.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A clear inky brown colour pour with a loose, billowing beige head; malty aroma; bready body with a light bitterness to start; then some charred grains giving a lasting bitter finish that builds as time slips by.

330ml can via Beer52. Poured into an old Forbidden Fruit chalice on 24th May 2026 in my back garden after some serious gardening in the afternoon sunshine. Black with a thin beige head. Hoppy and malty. Liked it.
