Metropolis has been one of the the in-house favourites at Vibrant for a long time. We have infused this beer with loads and loads of big American citrus hops, the aroma is one of an IPA and the initial flavours are similar. The end, however, brings in slight chocolate flavours that dwell within the darkness of this grand beer. This is truly special. Enter the Metropolis.

Bottle thanks to Ken. It pours deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is varnish, lemony sherbet, grapefruit, roasted malt, cocoa and light caramel. The taste is crisp, bitter, rich roast, earth, cocoa, grapefruit rind, lemon rind, pepper, dark chocolate and light alcohol with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Nice bitterness. Surprisingly good.

Cask @ Shrewsbury Beer Festival, Nov 14. Pours black with beige head. A nice helping of roasted malts with a little pine to ease out the bitterness. Decent CDA.

500ml Bottle - Dark brown, almost black, with a foamy head. Liquorice, pine and roasted malt in the aroma. Liquorice, plain chocolate, roasted malt and some soapy hops in the taste. Roasted notes linger in the finish.
