Aroma has lots of zesty, citrusy fruity hop. Taste has a nice wheaty smoothness, low carbonation. Lots of fruity hop flavours, especially pineapple.

Small snowwhite head over clear pale golden beer. Spicy, herbal nose with garden herbs and weeds. The same in the mouth - aromatic and fine, delicate flowery and blossomy flavours. Quite nice. Some simple fruity esters as pineapple. Light to medium bodied, faint gristslickness. Delicate!

Huge dark cream head, very stable over deep brown beer with a reddish hue; shards of lace. Bit of coffee, lots of fusels and hops. Quite some caramel(syrup). Faint backthroat sweetness. Long bitterish-burnt finish and aftertaste, where the stoutsourishness appears. Feels quite carbonated. Well bodied, quite to very slick. An attempt at black IPA, turns out another stout. All said.

Huge white head, utterly stable, fed by very lively carbonated veiled yellow-golden beer. New World hops, faint citrus, and lots of (exotic) fruit; bit of cat’s pee (the Simcoe). Bitter, dry. Fruit, but less prominent than in the nose. Wheat is present too. Bitter fruit is definitely what springs to mind (just hope it ain’t the grapes of wrath...) Quite carbonated, obviously. Wheatslickness, medium bodied. Quite well-received; it probably won’t fit the profile of the average inquiring consumer, so it won’t survive the preselection?

Bottle from Drinkmonger. Murky ruby/brown body with a huge, sturdy tan head. Excellent lacing. Aroma of sugared plum, caramel and grapefruit. Flavour of toast, sweet lime and blood orange. Very bitter and dry. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. Not as rich and chocolatey as some, but an excellent Black IPA - looks and tastes like a blend between a Black IPA and an IPA.

Bottle from Drinkmonger (2014) and keg at BBP (2023). Hazy golden body with a massive white head. Lively carbonation. Nice lacing. Aroma of dusty yeast, lemon, dirt and mandarin. Flavour of orange sherbet and lemon. Very dry and bitter. Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Soft fizz. An excellent IPA - big on the bitterness. Reminds me of The Cone by Top Out.
