The second of our evolving 2017 IPA series is a hazy, West Coast style Imperial IPA, hopped with Chinook, Citra, Equinox and Mosaic hops. First wort hopping, a triple hop stand and a triple dry hop bring huge, juicy hop flavours to the fore and a bright citrus aroma. A restrained bitterness keeps things in check, as does a simple malt bill with an underlying sweetness.

Bottle. Deep orangeish amber colour with a mediumsized white foamy head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is alcohol, some nectary, mild fruity and a bit tropical fruity elements. Flavour is fruity, citrusy, some alcohol with sweet malts and some toffeeish tones too. On the sweet side of things.

Bottle from Brewklopedia, Leicester. Pours hazy orange amber with an average sized off-white head. Aroma of malt, pine, caramel, toasting, hop and fruit. Moderate sweetness, quite heavy and slightly unpleasant bitterness. Medium plus body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Bitter fruit and pine finish. Somehow expected something a little better.

Dark orange-amber colour, medium-sized white head and lace. Gasoline, alcohol, resin in the aroma with overriped fruits. Medium-bodied. Flavour is very similar: overriped fruits, pine, citrus. Warming aftertaste. Not very balanced flavour. Overuse on hops with sweet maltyness.
