Bottle from Westhill Service Station. It pours cloudy red with a quickly dissipating white head. The aroma is sweet - sour, tangy raspberry, raspberry yoghurt and slighty woodsy. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, puckering, tart raspberry, sherbet dib dab, refreshers, minerality, touch of yoghurt and a touch of apple skin. Medium body and fine, prickly. Not a huge amount to it tbh, but it has plenty of raspberry and a nice tart edge.

Taste comprises Belgian yeast esters, mellow honeycomb, hedgerow, light white peppery spice, citric peel, straw, candied orange peel. Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough offering.

330ml bottle from Honest Brew. Look - murky dark brown, big light-beige frothy head of which a half-finger worth stays the course. Looks good. Aroma - sweet lightly roasted malts, stone fruits. Not getting much complexity. Taste - sweet malts, light roast, stone fruity hop with a touch of resin, moderate bitterness. Fairly tasty if a bit light and not too complex. Palate - medium bodied and a frothy carbonation mouthfeel. Not one of the best Black IPAs.

0,33 flaske fra min trofaste leverandør av kvalitetsprofylakse, hjemme: lett uklar gylden med utmerket skum som holder følge helt ned. Frisk&spenstig aroma og smak med citrus, aprikoser og deilige kryddertoner fra belgisk (?) gjær. God maltkropp, behagelig bitterhet i den friske og krydrede ettersmaken gir høy ff (forfriskningsfaktor).
