Incredibly smooth. The vanilla is subtle but noticeable. Some chocolate. Sweet but not overly so.

Tried with a My Father The Judge cigar listening to Wolf Alice.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Fairly smooth start to the palate with good fine minerally carbonation taking over, a mild dryness. Light pale malts, a good creamy sweetness, not overdone. Peacharine delivers light smooth pine and a mild but persistent hop spice nibble. Light juicy peach, slightly floral. Very mild and tangy Nectarine on the back end that also brings a mild bitterness. A disappointment to be frank, I mean it's a good dipa and I enjoyed it but, in my head, this was going to be stellar and, it never quite reached those heights. Had better Peacharine DIPAs recently. Maybe this could do with a week or three. I'll update this if my 2nd can develops. 7.6

Can. Yeah, this one seems juicier and more stone fruitier. Just has more depth.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness: murky deep golden body with an off-white head that holds well. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of peach, caramel and lemon sponge. Flavour of peach yoghurt, mango and apricot. Medium to full body with a chewy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Fruity and slightly sweet.
