Pours dark amber with a fading head.Nose shows rich sweet syrupy malt along with resionous and fruity hops. Marmalade, peach and plum. NiceVery aggressive flavours. Piny and resinous hops dominate along with a massive bitterness. Lots of malt too, but the bitterness wins out for sure.Carbonation could be a bit higher.

Pours amber with a small head.Nose shows sweet clean malt, herbal notes, tropical fruity hops and biscuity malt.Hoppy flavours, with some herbal astringency too. Chilli is noticeable as a burn on the back of the throat. Can’t detect much of the fruit and mint though.Too much carbonation.

The kaffir lime is faint. Quite herbal leading to an astringent bitterness.Carbonation seems a little full on.Needs more malt and less grapefruit.

[5/13] Bottle. Clear gold with a white head. Resinous tropical fruit aroma - passionfruit, lychees, gooseberries, lime leaf. Really didn’t get any grapefruit. Lowish carbonation works for me. Sweetish but without caramel, avoids being fruit salad-y. Strong bitterness and pepper emerge from the fruit. A hell of a lot of fun. [3.9] [12/15] Can. Quite hazy with a white head. Pungent - meaning way beyond vibrant - gooseberry and grass aroma with Seville oranges and some tropical fruit. Resin, wet spices that come across as like the residue dripping from a Thai market pestle - galangal, garlic, shallots, lime. Very strong bitterness. I had a dud one of these a while back (it was pretty sweet and had hints of crystal; not sure I’d know if this’s sweet), but this one is again around as aggressively-hopped a beer as I’ve had. Pushing it. [2/17] Bottle. A little less bitter, loads of tropical fruit, rather less of the shallot end of things.
