Description
At DVB we simply aspire to be your very own ‘Home Brewery’ by creating the kind of damn fine beer that delivers mouth parties at your place.
We spend our waking hours taking a second look at what defines a traditional style, and from there, we give the recipe boundaries a bit of a nudge. Yeah sure it might not please the Purity Police, and for that, trophies for “correctness” may elude us.
Keep this to yourselves… but actually, we’re good with that.
Remember that Beer is about Friends, Family and Fun.

(Can) Pours clear golden with small white head. Lovely complex hoppy aroma with contributions from the various hops. Great palette with medium body, slightly oily, and lively bright carbonation. Great taste with some biscuit malt sweetness carrying plenty of hop flavours, from a tangy start to pleasant bitterness. Very enjoyable.

Can. Pale amber with a fading frothy inch of white head. Aroma of pine, mango, pineapple, orange, breadcrust. Sweet with more tropical and rubbed dank fruit/ caramel/ pine notes before a finish that seems to half-heartedly towards dry and is modestly bitter. Strong for what it offers.

Can. Clear gold with a white head. Wafty aroma with just ripe tropical fruit and citrus over crackers. Clean with just a little sweetness. A little resin as well as fruit creeps up before a drying but not very bitter finish. Nice, has maybe lost a little punch?

From a 440ml can on 7/4/2022. Pours a a slightly hazy golden with a bright white medium head. Not labelled as a double but 8% is double territory. Has a light fruity nose of melon an papaya. Tastes similar - melon and papaya again, a little coconut coming through with the sabro, with a little tangy citrus and berry at the back, delivering a slightly spicy finish The mouthfeel is silky, the carbonation moderate. Not the typical juice bomb. Quite elegant and restrained in fact. Both interesting and impressive.

Can. Clear reddish amber with a fat coat of beige head. 3+ Aroma of sticky breadcrust, pine, hints of oranges. Pretty light bodied. Clean with sweet caramel, pine needles and some spices. Firm bitterness. Pleasant enough but a bit strong for what it offers.

Has good foam on a soft brownish body, smells of heavy oily hops. Flavour is good malt character with hop interaction. Mouthfeel is full with nice oiliness. This is good, balanced.

Smells of off vegetable and rotting cream with old socks. Has okay orangey brown body and a bit of foam on top. Flavour is nice malt, some cream sweetness, good balance. Odd aftertaste. It's missing key elements.

On tap at Brewers Cooperative. Biscuit, grass, dry savoury crackers, orange juice, toffee. Medium body. There's no obvious fault here, just a lack of hops and a bad malt bill. The traditional annual fresh hop disaster. Shame.

On tap at the brewery. Pours bright red. Raspberry, grapefruit, orange, caramel. Good body. Fruity but definitely still an IPA too with a nice bitterness and a real malt backbone. Delicious.
