A mysterious and sly little demon. A contradiction and a deceiver. Loki is an odd one. Session-style Black IPA using the new and unique ‘Jester’ hop grown in the UK to counteract big bold American hops.
Tropical and resinous aromas dominate with crisp-like citrus flavours with moderate bitterness. Very low roast flavours due to de-bittered black malt gives high drinkability.

Tap. Sheffield Tap. Clear, dark, reddy brown. Thin, bubbly, lasting, beige head. Nose has soft, roast, chocolatey malts. Hint of liquorice. Pithy hop. Bold, zesty orange. Bit of strawberry in there. Smells great. Taste is light, pithy, roasty bitter. Light body. Bit fizzy, maybe. Zesty bitter finish.

(Cask at Craft Beer Co Covent Garden, London, 1 Dec 2014) Dark brown colour with foamy, off-white head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of dark bread, chocolate, coffee and pine needles. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, coffee, dark bread and a balanced piney bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Well balanced and tasty black IPA. Nice one.
