Introducing "Chop Chop," a beer crafted with the precision of an aizkolari's axe. This beer was brewed in collaboration with Cheltenham's finest, Deya Brewing Company, to celebrate our 8th Anniversary Series. This New Zealand Double IPA boasts an explosion of intense cantaloupe and ripe pineapple aromas, thanks to the Motueka and Rakau hops. Complemented by a luscious, velvety mouthfeel and a medium-to-full body, that owes its richness to the addition of flaked and malted oats, as well as maltodextrin. Chop it down one gulp at a time.

Rated at Unknown venue. Lt. Sweet, ripeish tropical fruity with some citrus, pineapple, grapefruit, mango and floral notes. Okay, a bit heavy and sweet.

From can at Cardinal with BHK 29.06.24. Aroma and taste of bread, biscuits, and marmalade. Particularly first price biscuits. Well, well, well.

440 ml can, at Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV is 8.0%. Opaque / murky yellow colour, moderate white head. Pleasant aroma of ripe yellow stonefruits, pineapple and other tropical fruits, some citrus and spruce too. Citric mouthfeel. Medium sweet flavour with the same elements as the aroma, low bitterness. Lovely beer!

Draft. An unclear golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of over ripe fruits, spices, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, spices, exotic fruits, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenny, 16/12/23. Murky orange with a good sized lasting just off white head. Nose is orange zest, grapefruit, pine needle, grass, ripe melon. Taste comprises sweet malts, papaya, mandarin, touch of hop spice, perfume, melon, pineapple. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness. Decent enough DIPA but not at the top of Basquelands game.
