We were over the moon to find out our closest home city had a brand new brewery opening, and found even more common ground when we visited for the first time to see a brewkit very similar to the original Polly’s brew kit to wax lyrical over. Since then we have routinely found Spookton’s beers on our radar and have been blown away at the quality being produced from our neighbours over the border. Wanting to go with what we both do best, our birthday IPA is a beautiful meld of in-house favourite Idaho 7, alongside the freshly named Krush; both imparting juicy tropical notes with a sticky pine undercurrent. It’s our birthday though, so we couldn’t just leave things at that - a supercharge of DynaBoost in the whirlpool, along with HyperBoost on the cold side, all of the fruit-forward notes in this beer have been amplified up to 11 in an all out rush to the palate with intense mango, pineapple, and pomelo flavours.

Can. Just a light haze on this gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, a very mild dryness, modest fine carbonation. Soft and airy pale malts, a very mild creamy sweetness. Soft pine, soft stone fruits, Nectarine obvious. A little citrus peel. Smooth piney finish brings a very mild hop spice. Nice but a bit sweet and a bit flaccid.

440ml can from Leff Field Beer and shared in Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a thin white head and some broken lace. The aroma is grainy, malt, gluey yeast. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a smooth, somewhat rich, yeasty, herbal, gluey caramel, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
