Can picked up at Eebria , consumed at End of the Road Festival, Larmer Tree Gardens, Dorset, 3rd September 2015. I drank this straight from the can so cannot be certain on the colour, however it’s an IPA so let’s have a calculated guess on it being, gold with a white head. Nice steady bitterness, this is good much like the Divide and Conquer BIPA. Really like this, great hoppiness throughout, juicy but then dry, citrussy. Good beer. A6 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.7

Bottle picked up at Eebria, consumed at home Wednesday 2nd September 2015 Can’t see through it so I am suggesting that this is nigh on black, with a large frothy creamy light beige head. Some roasty notes on the nose. Hoppy in the mouth, fruity with a roastiness and bitter edge and yet superbly smooth. This is a top drawer BIPA with a grapefruit edge. Lovely. A7 A5 T8 P4 Ov17 4.1

Can. Little Leeds Beer House. Hazy, orangey amber. Thin, tight, lasting, white head. Big, sweet, chewy malts. Big, sweet, fruity hops to match. Very fresh, and robustly resinous. Lots of fruit salad action. Banana toffees. The full works. Taste is light, fruity sweet, first off, before a pithy, zesty, citrus bitterness. Soft, rich, oily mouthfeel. Finishes long, oily bitter, with a meringue sweetness chiming in just when you don’t expect. Great stuff.

Bottle. Little Leeds Beer House. Clear, dark ruby red. Bubbly, messy tan head. Fruity chocolate malts. A nice brûléed grapefruit note. Pretty roasty. Bit of blackcurrant. Taste is chocolate sweet for about a second before a huge bosh of bitterness kicks in and stays the course. Full bodied. Soft carbonation. Finishes with more of the big bitterness. Very tasty. Bit at odds. Liked it though.

Half-pint, keg at Reliance in Leeds. A pearl white head that stayed well over a slightly cloudy amber coloured body. Fresh taste of hoppy fruits and berries. Citrus, strawberry and malty sweetness to the taste buds. A gentle bite of orange shells to the finish, dry and bitter. Fine bodied. Pleasing (08.07.2015).
