440ml can shared with AndyTF2 at the Wrekin Inn on 24th March 2024. Hazed yellow body, white crust. Semi-sweet pineapple front in bother the aroma and taste, nice feel to this fruity little number.

Bottle ordered from the brewery. Aroma is dry and vinous. Boozy. Latent pear hints. Opaque amber. Foamy white head swiftly retreats. Fruity. Peary. A sour tangy and vinous streak. Sugary pulpy pear appears into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Big in flavour, in fruitiness. Less so in term of booze but it's warming. Yummer.

Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Soft creamy sweet malts. Light smooth pine, quite bright. Light but juicy hop citrus. A little tropical fruits and stone fruits, mild candy fruits. Good gamut of hop fruits. Mild hop spice on the light finish. Very good fruity hop dipa.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, a good crisp minerally carbonation. Light malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Interesting hop bill. Sabro and HBC431. If memory serves, HBC431 was around long before Sabro (HBC438) and yet, still no commercial name. Crisp cooling pine into light and juicy Sabro ripe pineapple and light creamy coconut and here, well backed up by HBC431, that for me, fits in well with Idaho 7 and Bru 1. I mean broad spectrum bright citrus and tropical fruits. Some nibbly hop spice on the back end. Yeah, bright, light and properly hoppy. Pretty much 90% or what you want from a dipa.

Cask @ The Baum, Rochdale. Deeper clear golden with a head. Has a clear strength to proceedings, some sugars, some stewed-fruit style taste.

440ml can. Pours a deep cloudy orange, no head. Aroma is mostly mango and vanilla, hints of raspberry too I suppose. Taste wise it's the same story, plenty of mango and creamy vanilla (and lactose unfortunately), some raspberry tang and tartness coming through but it's in the background, the sweetness basically cancels out any sourness. Medium bodied and smooth. Despite being less than 1% lower in ABV than the Imperial version it's a totally different beer, much more easy drinking which is good but can't help but feel it lacking. I think the lactose addition was a mistake, you already had vanilla for the sweet and creamy part and this just overdid it to the point where it's not even sour.

Medium bodied. Creamy. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Lovely jubbly.

Can ordered from the brewery. Aroma had juicy fruit with a creamy coconut element. Hazy light orange. Foamy translucent white head shrinks but still provides full coverage. Light-medium bitter. Light citrus sugary sweetness. The Savro provides some creamy coconut but it's unintrusive - which for me is a plus. A resinous streak, more obvious into the finish. Medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Pithy. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Hmmm. A Sabro hopped beer that I really enjoyed (although I suspect a root through my ratings would unearth others, but right now the tone is that this would not be the case). Hits the spot.
