Description
Alpha Delta Brewing was established in September 2019 in Newcastle Upon Tyne by Ross Holland. With over 5 years of brewing experience behind him, Ross decided to create something BIG. In October, Aether and Aion were released as the first two big seasonal beers to kick Alpha Delta off. Now he plans to release even more incredible big beers. Very exciting times.

Can sourced from Beerdome - very hazed to opaque yet glowing yellow to orange coloured pour with a foamy creamy white head. Robust juicy fruity with notes of grapefruit and pineapple, tangerine, lemon, medium sweet offset with a touch of bitter citrus peel, smooth soft mouthfeel and medium body, solid hoppy finish. First beer from this new brewery for me, promising.

Draught Looks like thick pressed pineapplejuice with a medium, dense whipped eggwhite head. Dry hops, fruity esters, hopbales, artichoke, peach, nectarine aromas. Bitter(ish) - diary hints; vegetable & fruity esters; bananapeel notes. Bit burning MF. Yeast- & hopoilslick. Medium carbonation. Not really innovating. B.T.D.T.

Can. Very hazy whitish gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, a biting fine minerally crispness. Slightly thin malts still bring a reasonable sweetness. Fair dose of hop spice. Cooling piney hops. Right, I know what Bru-1 tastes like so what does this new hop Callisto's, taste like? Well not too sure really. There is y bright tropical fruits vibe here but fairly subsumed by a flinty spicy minerally hop thing, some bitterness. What's left after that? Light touches of peach and pineapple. Light crisp flinty spicy finish. Hmmm. A good beer in here somewhere, somewhat masked by an overly tangy flinty vibe. Perhaps trying to hard to be a NE IPA.

Pours unclear yellow, medium to small white head. Smell is mildly tropical, citrussy zest. Dank. Taste is sharp, fairly creamy, with a sharp edge. Hoppowder ( no burn ) , rather tropical. Bitter ( to the max for the style, but acceptable ) finish. In balance, would enjoy even more with more creamyness and hoparoma.

440ml can. Murky/opaque pale golden, white head. Aroma of ripe mangoes and hops. Taste is sweet, full on mango juice and other ripe tropical fruits, pineapple, melon, peach, bitter citrus rindy finish. Full bodied, thick. A little on the sweet side, but a good DIPA.

Pours unclear blonde, medium small , white , creamy and stable head. Smell is full, orange-fruityness, milder passion fruit underneath. Slightly dank as well. Taste is full, bit bitter, very juicy ! Dank, grassy, passion fruit. Orange character is very mild ( especially compared to the aroma ). Easy drinkin', tasty IPA !
