Old meets new as we pick a favourite beer series from the archives and give it a super fresh new addition. Eleven Finger Discount is a 100% New Zealand-hopped IPA, spun on cedar wood through our Spinbot. Expect a bright spiciness from the wood, in addition to punchy tropical fruits from the Superdelic, Nelson Sauvin, Nectaron and Motueka hops.

LCI from 8x8 18-20 October. Not sure the wood balances here, there’s a lot going on and it’s interesting. Maybe a beer I need to sit with.

440ml can taken away from Beerfly, Bedford. Light gold, slightly hazy with a small film of off-white head. Light aroma, some citrus and spice, woody notes. Sweet taste, woody character more persistent here, some grapefruit, tangerine, lemon peel. Drying finish. Carbonation on the heavy side. Nice.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Almost clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth malts provide a modest sweetness. The hops bring cooling pine, a mild bitterness and a pleasant if somewhat generic citrus and mild tropical fruits. Light crispy finish. Not bad at all, clean and drinkable but, where is the Nectaron tropical richness or the Superdelic brightness etc.

Can at home, picked up from HOTM online, 13/11/24. Clear golden to light orange topped with a just off white cap that retains as a swirl. Nose is bitter orange, pine needle, grassy, mellow Kiwi hop presence, lychee, grapefruit zest. Taste comprises bitter orange, dank bite, gooseberries, melon, papaya, grass, light stone fruit, pine needle. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with mellow Kiwi laden hop bitterness. Tidy IPA ... not as in your face in terms of Nelson and Co compared to a lot of such releases in the UK this year, more subtle and nuanced but enjoyable none the less.

440ml can. Clear pale golden, small white head. Aroma of grapefruit, peach, gooseberries, white wine. Taste is the same, plenty of citrus grapefruit, lime, orange, vinous white wine and gooseberries, bit of peach and tropical fruit, didn't get the cedar wood mind. Medium bodied. Solid west coast leaning IPA.

440 ml can. Pours a gold with light head. Aromas of strong dank hops with additional pineapple, papaya, and sharp toasted malts. Flavors of bitter pineapple, pithy citrus, papaya, soft pine and dry toasted malts. Woody finish. (Cedar shavings?) A good hop bomb.
