Bottle at home in London - sourced from the Cock Tavern in Hackney. Pours cloudy, amber brown with a lasting, frothy off-white head. The aroma holds lots of brown bread, ripe orange, pine and subtle toffee. The flavor is medium sweet with more bready malts, toasted sugars, moderate alcohol boost, some further ripe and slightly dried citrus fruits, touches of toffee and brown sugar. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Lightly warming to finish with hints of pine resins, some rindy bitterness, soft earth, more brown bread, a bit of dry toffee. All in all it’s quite tasty stuff, if not especially clean and in the style of paler IPAs.

330ml bottle. Brown colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Minimally grassy and piney hop aroma, very cautious hints of dark malt with a nuttily touch, hints of wood, very late (with the head fading away) caramel and vanilla Bourbon notes in mixture with hints of dark fruit like plum and fig. Taste is minimally tart fruity, hints of plum and fig, minimally sweet dark and caramel malty basis with a nuttily touch, minimally smoky hints of wood, some minimally grassy bitter hop; dry, minimally astringent, minimally tart finish, but what remains for a long time on the tongue is minimally roasty dark malt with a nuttily touch, even some milk chocolate; slightly sticky palate. Complex and somewhat oscillating or changing with every sip, in no way dominated by the BA-notes. Begs for a second tasting to go deeper in detail.

Bottle from Sourced Market St Pancras. Clear brown lasting beige head. Toffee aroma some slightly bitter hop. Malty toffee ipa just bitterness on the finish. Not a good ipa. Had the weird beard apa before this and it beats this completely .

Cask gravity at Five Points brewery. Pink grapefruit hoppy American pale ale very drinkable. Excellent. Could do with a bit more malt body but aroma and flavour are excellent

Bottle at home in London - picked up at the Cock Tavern. Pours deep, oily black-brown with a moderate, rich mocha head. The beer has quite a dynamic aroma. The elderflower punches through with its green pepper notes, then you’ve also got well roasted malts, milk chocolate and hints of tangy, ripened dark cherries. The flavor carries on nicely, with moderate sweetness, a bit more spicy elderflower, ripe green pepper, silky chocolate, toasted bread. Light to medium bodied with fine, creamy carbonation. Finishes lightly oily with mellow earthy bitterness, ripe berries, milky chocolate, soft roast, florals, subtle chocolate cake. Wonderful stuff. Really well integrated. One of Pressure Drop’s most mature constructions to date.

Bottle at Cock Tavern. It pours darkest brown with a small beige and some bits of cherry floating around. The nose is big on the elderflower, white grape, earth, roast, coffee and toast. The taste is roasted malt, ripe cherry, toast, earth, berry, cherry cola, mild acidity, treacle and light elderflower with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Well-integrated flavour and balance. Tasty.
