DDH PALE... A Diamond Bullet is the one of two official IMBC launch beers. A DDH pale ale brewed and dry hopped with Citra leaf, Citra Cryo, BRU 1 BBC and Idaho 7 T90. Soft bodied and sleek on the mouth with extrapolative levels of deep ripe exotic fruits and a clean bitter citrus finish.

Keg at The Farmer's Boy, St Albans, Herts. A hazy golden/amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, peach, tropical fruit aroma. Tastes similar hoppy, peach, pineapple, tropical fruit. I love Wylam but this isn't one of their best efforts.
