Handpull cask at the Blue Moon, Cambridge, during the NVB Tap Takeover 3 August 2017. Amber/brown. Hazy. Nice little off-white head. Heady aroma of spruce, resin, tropical fruit, white grape. Some light floral notes. Sweet, fruity taste with strong suggestions of guava. Some notable bitterness in the finish. A brilliant cask DIPA.

Handpull cask at the Blue Moon, Cambridge, during the NVB Tap Takeover 3/8/17. Light orangey gold, slightly hazy, with no head. Lovely notes of grapefruit, resin, light tropical fruit. Taste is bitter. The hops never relinquish control, although the focus seems to change from pure citrus to more piney near the finish. Oily body. A beer that exceeded expectations for me. Wow.

Keg from the Blue Moon during the NVB Tap Takeover 3 August 2017. Dark brown colour, slightly translucent with a tiny film of off-white head. Toffee in the aroma, along with Lotus spread and notes of coffee and plum. Taste is too sweet for me. It’s missing that spicy yeasty character that the best Belgian Dubbels have. Finish is slightly more bitter with a satisfying biscuity note. Good enough beer but too sweet and feels a tiny bit artificial.
