Hop Custard is gloopy and gorgeous, murky and magnificent. Canned fresh this morning, it pours a hazy, golden hue, with a thick, creamy head. The aroma is a heady mix of tropical fruit, dank pine, and sweet citrus, thanks to the generous help of Citra and El Dorado. But that's not all - Strata hops add a unique layer of complexity, with notes of mango, passionfruit, and a touch of ganja dank that will leave you wanting more.

Can at home, big thanks to the Wingmane, 24/02/2025.
Murky orange topped with a good sized lasting off white cap that stays for the show.
Nose is ripe tropical fruits, pine resin, dank chimes, grapefruit, lychee, mango flesh.
Taste comprises bitter orange, grapefruit, pine resin, guava, mango pulp, hop spice.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with resinous come dankened hop bitterness allied to a balanced rising boost.
Solid bitter forwards DIPA.

Can big thanks to Wingman. Hazy yellow gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, a mild dryness, decent superfine carbonation. Airy light malts impart a nice creamy sweetness. Soft pine into good juicy tangerine and mandarin. Hop spice starts to nibble. El Dorado and Strata are very much second fiddle but, modest skunk and a surprisingly obvious Passion Fruit vibe elevates this already good beer to the next level. Hop spicy linger.
