Lightly hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is airy with good fine carbonation. Nice light pale malts with a good touch of creamy sweetness. Hops start spicy and grassy with a slight herbal vibe. Semi sweet pine and then more hop spice. Little bitter floralnes and light and juicy tropical fruits. Airy finish. Hops spice linger. A light and tasty DIPA that goes down far too easily!

Bottle. Hop Hideout, Sheffield. Clear, dark gold. Thin, bubbly, white head. Dank, Granny medicine, herbal, fruity hop. Taste is sweet, chewy, turning big piny, resinous bitter. Oily, greasy, full body. Finishes long, piny, dank, chewy, medicinal ointment that’s way beyond it’s use by date, bitter. Fantastic. Well worth the air miles!
