On tap at OGH. Very hoppy, but not too bitter. Extremely refreshing. Slips down very smooth for the hoppiness and alcohol content.

330ml bottle. This is definitely blood orange, and there’s lots of vinegar and yeast too. Light, fizzy and playful in the mouth.

Pint at Vultures Lane. The IPA takes centre stage, but there’s lots of roasted malt coming through. A really nice example of the style.

Can, label says 8%. Black with a tan head that’s soon a coat. Aroma of mocha, roasted barley as well as malt, licorice fudge, vanilla. Full bodied with lowish carbonation - at first you think silky, then maybe a bit sludgy. Very sweet with some astringency and high bitterness cutting through at the last. Some salt there too. More coffee and acrid roast than chocolate. No sign of the figs or the honey (don’t know what maca root tastes like). The finish is rather tiring after a while.

Bottle. Pale gold with a huge white head. Aroma of citrus blossoms (lime, orange) gooseberries, crackers. Over-carbonated. As it warms and gasses out a bit, some hayish malt emerges which balances the interesting hops well after it first seemed just fruity and bitter. The hops walk a line between floral and NZ fruity that makes Kiwi pils such a fine thing.

Can. Pale gold, some debris, white head. 3- Aroma of peach, melon, grass. Light bodied, but has a fair bit of presence for 3.5%. Moderate carbonation. Dryish with firm hay, nectarine, tropical fruit, a little pepper. Moderate bitterness. As usual, not the sort of beer I would think of a session beer - it seems thin and a bit measly after 2/3 of a glass - but a decent dustcutter.

50cl bottle pours a murky black with lots of foamy, off white head. Nose has malt, pumpernickel, molasses, chocolate, caramel. Flavor has cocoa nibs, brown sugar, malt balls, caramel, some malt, toast. Standard. Old school.
