Bottleshare on the England Football team night of shame! Thanks to Paul. Hazy amber beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Light malts, mildly sweet. Light fine carbonation. Light floralness. Nice light mildly spicy pine. Spicy Mosaic generic fruits, thin orange. Finishes semi dry with a long spicy linger. Nice if not in the leading pack of UK DIPAs at this time.

Bottle at Bespin, thanks to LKS, 27/06/16. Hazed orange amber with a decent off white covering. Nose is tangerine, orange jelly, melon, juicy hop notes, cantaloupe melon. Taste comprises orange pith, melon, light pine, toasted malt, soft bread, tangerine, light grapefruit. Medium + body, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a lick of juicy hop bitterness. Ok mellow DIPA but not gonna set the genre alight, drinks below the ABV.

Bottle shared at LKS. It pours hazy deep amber with a small whte head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, orange marmalade, tangerine, orange muffin, perfumed and bread. The taste is bitter, punchy alcohol boost, piney, resin, stewed orange, tangerine peel, peppery spicy, waxy citrus rind, wood and mild astringency with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Boosty, but I sort of like it.

Bottle shared in W2 - many thanks to Paul. Pours mostly clear amber-gold with a frothy, off-white head. Hearty bready malts in the nose, ripening citrus fruits, melon, papaya. Medium sweet flavour with strong jammy fruit character, some grape gummies, more melon, papaya, gooey orange, mild oily pine. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Decent balance on the finish, with more pale bread, very slight caramel, ripe fruits. Pretty tasty and drinkable stuff, especially given the strength.
