330ml bottle. Browny orange amber colour, foam off-white head and aroma of passionfruit, pineapple, hop resin. Taste is malt & rye with an earthy spicey hop resin bitterness. Slightly oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, lingering dry bitter finish. Quite drinkable IPA.

Pours murky copper with a massive head.Nose shows some piny and resinous hops with a fair whack of sweet malt underneath.Hoppy flavours, more resinous pine. Also a fair bit of sweet clean malt followed by a bold bitterness and a fair bit of sharp booze.Carbonation is way too high.

From a 330ml bottle on 31/5/2013. Pours a murky golden orange with huge bubbly head. Has a spicy fruity aroma (though my sense in this area is currently affected by quite a bad head cold. The flavour is really quite interesting - lots of sweet and sour citrus fruit, along was doses of spice, pepper and rye. The finish is quite tart and refreshing. The body is relatively full and the carbonation is (as one has come to expect from HopDog) excessive. An unusual beer with lots of character which would be a delight if it just a bit less bubbly.

Froma 330ml bottle (a bit of a gusher). Pours a clody dark golden with a huge foaming head which disappears quickly. Has a strong tart raspberry aroma, with some boozy notes.This follows though in the flavour, with masses of raspberry, tart citrus, and warming rummy finish. The body is medium, and the carbonation (as seems to be the HopDog way) is too high. Quite interesting (as is also the HopDog way) but a little odd. Still, I love that these guys are clearly intent on putting out unusual brews and enjoy pushing the envelope.

Pours ruby-tinged amber with a very large head.Nose shows dominant raspberry with some soft doughy wheat. Mainly just raspberry though.Flavours of rum, booze, coconut, raspberry. A bit brash and disjointed. Too much hot booze.Much too much carbonation.

From a 650ml (?) bottle on 25/3/2013. Pours a cloudy light orange with a huge head. Has a relatively strong aroma of yeast, honey and pink grapefruit. Taste wise, it starts out sweet with citrus and stone fruit, loads of honey, a touch of caramel, and a dash of alcohol. The bitterness is firm and lingering, but it’s hidden for something listed as 150 IBUs. All up, this is enjoyable enough but a little lacking in character for a DIPA (and HopDog is usually big on character). On the plus side, happy to find a HopDog brew where the carbonation is actually under control.

(Bottle) Black with huge beige head. Lovely aroma mixing chocolate and hop pine. Full bodied with excellent mouthfilling velvety carbonation. Dark chocolate and dark roast malt flavours from start to finish with plenty of bitterness steadily building. Overall an excellent beer.

Bottle. Amber with a huge off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit, peach, pine needles, lychees in syrup. Some overt alcohol. Overcarbonated. Sweet with caramel and peach before very strong bitterness. Pine, pineapple, grass and citrus linger. Alcohol sticks out a fair bit. Hops work well in the aroma and break though the sweetness but mainly as a roar - but I guess they’re my usual complaints about this sort of thing.

(Bottle) Hazy golden amber with big white head. Pleasant, unusual aroma - hints of caramel, sweet potato, peppery spice and maybe a bit of funk. Excellent mouthfeel - rich, full bodied, almost sticky with some lively carbonation. Taste is excellent and also a little unusual. The most prominent flavour is toffee or caramel, which whilst quite rich is not over sweet. There is a little peppery spice and some somewhat harsh bitterness in the finish. A very impressive and slightly unusual beer.
