Saw Stu P. review so had to grab it. Resinous as hell. Bitter. Tropical fruits. Sippin on a glass of Haribo. Boom.

Keg at BD Sheps Boost, 20/10/17. Lightly hazed golden pour with a decent off white cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is orange pith, straw, malty tones, biscuit, caramel. Taste comprises bitter orange, bread dough, toasted grains, citric tinged straw, tangerine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with mellow hop bitterness. Passable IPA.

Can from The Beerhive. Hazy golden/amber body with a medium off-white. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of pear skin and cigarette butt. Flavour of lime chutney and rice cake. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fIzz. Very dry and nowhere close to the high standard of Almastyโs best IPAs.

Thanks to PriorL + Mathieu87 for sharing. Sampled draft @ BrewDog Brussels during BrewDog Collab Fest 2017. Bright orange golden ;nose is weak doughy stone fruit, basic hop oil. Taste is doughy oily stone fruit & citrus, grain, faint toffee. Basic oily bit empty. Not very exciting but decent basic IPA but could use some more flavour for me.

Keg at BD SB. It pours lightly hazy yellow - gold with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, oily, bit farty, bready, grassy, herbal, bread, resin and hay. The taste is dry, bitter, oily, resin, grassy, onion, ambergris, bread, resin, sliver stewed tea, lemongrass and pithy citrus with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Plenty going on, but a lot of the aspects clash. Fair.
