From a 440ml can on 4/6/2023. Pours a clear deep golden with a medium head. Has a sharp fruity, resiny nose, with hints of pine. Very intense on the sip. Orange and lemon but it's the hops that dominate - loiads of resin and pine, which coat he tongue and lingers. Syrupy mouthfeel and average carbonation. This is actually a really solid big, bitter IPA. Lacks the malt profile of good the great US WC double IPAs, but more interesting than most Oz attempts.

From a 440ml can on 16/5/2023. Pours a dirty light amber with no head. Has a indistinct sour fruit nose. Tastes of lightly sour apple and not much else. Medium tart at the back. Don't really get the cinnamon or the vanilla. Not very dessertish at all. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Sounded like it might be my type of sour, but it wasn't to be. Quite one dimensional and just not very pleasant. Very disappointing, as the beers I've previously had from Bad Shepherd have generally been very good.

Surprisingly light bodied for an IIPA. Aromas of pine and spearmint are balanced a little biscuit and butterscotch. The hops are very restrained in the mouth, and the alcohol well hidden. It's quite short at the end, so I'm constantly straining for me and drinking it too quickly as a result!

(Can) Pours clear deep brown with no head. String coconut aroma with hints of chocolate and maybe berries. Medium body with slightly oily mouthfeel and very light carbonation. Slightly tart, mild dark toffee start is quickly joined by coconut and then dark chocolate. Odd; pleasant.
