Being Belgian style, with T58 you get high fruity esters mingled with bold, cracked pepper. A final dose of US05 crispens that fruitiness so it drinks like an American IPA but cloaks you in a warmth reminiscent of Trappist tripels. We've matched bolder Belgian yeast character with DIPA-doses of choice Slovenian hops. Cardinal gives mushed banana and pineapple aromas. Wolf gives a spicier, vibrant nose of anise and lemongrass. Combined, this beer drinks with candied fruit flavours: dried payaya over commonplace currants, and comforting hot-cross bun spice.

Bottle shared in Hackney - cheers to Colin. Pours hazy orange with a frothy, white head. The aroma holds rindy citrus, pale bread, a little pine and yeast. Medium sweet flavour with some pulpy orange, moderate piney bitterness, some boozy boost, light minerality. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Warming finish, with more rich, fleshy orange, bitter pine. Nice one.
