New Construction Options is a big, fruity and smooth DIPA with low to moderate bitterness and a soft full mouthfeel. It is a New England style DIPA built on an all malt backbone supported with masses of Citra, Simcoe and Mosaic hops. When all this is fermented with 2 yeast strains it produces a very hazy and very drinkable beer.

Can 440ml (BZ, BB 09/2018)
Dark amber colour, medium-sized beige head. Nose has tropical fruits and resin but it is a bit on heavy side with some "fermentation gases". Medium-bodied. Sticky riped fruits, caramalt, resin, citrus and alcohol. Flavour is matching to nose: it is ok but this beer is a slow sipper malty DIPA. Maybe yeast flavours knock some of the hop character too.

Can picked up from Beer Gonzo Webshop, Earlsdon, Coventry, consumed at home Friday 18th May 2018 cooking Jumbo Prawns with Tomato, Dill and Fenugreek, down the garden by the pond. Pours hazy warm orange, really orangey with a big white head that sticks to the sides of the glass. Juicy but with a good tropical challenge, quite a sweet but tangy sharp zap, like a zippy orange, zesty with a hit of passion fruit, persimmon. This is a lovely beer. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 3.9

Can split at Bodney, thanks to ,12/04/18. Lightly hazed golden amber with a decent beige cap. Nose is caramel, sweet tropical fruits, melon, pine needle, bready. Taste comprises sweet tropicana, pine resin, mango pulp, melon, papaya. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with juicy hop bitterness. Decent enough DIPA if a touch sweet.

Can at Bodney thanks to Dan. It pours hazy orange with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh grapefruit, zesty, bright, juicy orange, toffee and bread. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter, bright grapefruit, quite zesty, sugary, chewy, resin and wood. Medium body and fine carbonation. Not a huge amount of depth, but drinkable enough.
