A bold and complex double IPA, just waiting to be discovered. A combination of Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Galaxy hops deliver an unmistakable hit of zesty citrus with underlying whispers of tropical fruits and resinous pine.

Can. A mild haze on this orange gold beer, small but tidy pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth malts, some creamy sweetness and a mild but pleasing smooth grain. Hops bring cooling pine and a boxy bitterness that I associate with Chinook. Light bright citrus, juicy comes through on the back end. Sounds like a pretty decent dipa? It's alright, certainly quite drinkable. The malts are fine, the hops are fine. For me, the issue is the balance between the two. Malts are to forward, hops a little recessed. But, drinkable.

Can from Tescos. Nose is big mango, peach, lilt. Taste is is mango, pith grapefruit, touch of malt, lime pith, hint of lemon in a slightly peppery finish. Thinner than the strength would imply.
It's totally fine.

Deadication beer to Rosa May Billinghurst, the disabled Suffragette who was anything but incognito in her protestations for suffrage, she was born on this day in 1875. Strong but a very smooth textured mild tropical fruitiness subdues this in taste, growing sweeter in aftertaste, with a sweetish tropical fruit aroma. Its texture is notable here though and slips down the palate really well. Golden colour.

[44cl can from Tesco, Warfield.] A hazy golden amber pour with a thick cream coloured head; malty aroma with some tropical fruit; creamy texture with some chewy malts to start then a solid piney bitterness and lots of warmth in the throat from the poorly hidden alcohol; the aftertaste has caramel malts and a pleasant woody bitterness as the warmth gradually reaches the belly. A rather inelegant DIPA.

One-third pint, draught at Vocation & Co. Sheffield. Close-to-clear amber body, spotty lacing, covering pearl white head. Quite promising aromas of grapefruit and mid-sweet malts. Balanced malt-fruity flavoured, moments of lemony hops, grapefruit, and mild caramel malty sweetness. Bittersweet tail. Mouthfilling. Pretty good. (29.04.2025).

Drinkable overall. Bready malts, lightly sun-kissed, some ripening citrus fruits, mellow piney-rindy bitterness. Fairly basic but not bad.
