Can picked up from Hoptimism website, Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK. Consumed at home Monday 21st December 2020 listening to Craig Charles on 6Music standing in for Steve Lamaqs show, making Pork Pies. Murky yellow with a white head, a fury of hops really kicks in, in fact it is so hoppy your tongue is momentarily numbed. Nice soft mouthfeel, it's an appropriate name :-( good beer though.

Consumed at home Monday 21st December 2020 listening to Craig Charles on 6Music standing in for Steve Lamaqs show, making Pork Pies. Hazy amber with a white head this is a big punchy DIPA, lots of fruit here, tropical fruit, a soft mouthfeel, juicy mango, a hoppiness buzzing throughout. Good.

Can picked up from Hoptimism website, Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK. Consumed at home Sunday 20th December 2020 listening to Daniel Blumberg - On & On. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Juicy and fruity but really, really good. Mostly tropical with mango, papaya and a little pineapple but there is a streak of sweet orange. Good beer.

Can picked up from Hoptimism website, Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK. Consumed at home Sunday 20th December 2020 listening to 2020 Label Compilation -A Strangely Isolated Place. Pours light amber with a white head, citrussy, bitter good dry finish and a little pithy. Very nice beer and nice to see a more typical IPA rather than a juicebomb.

Can picked up from Hoptimism website Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK and consumed at home Saturday 19th December 2020 listening to Radcliffe and Maconie (this morning's show, via listen again) making Pork Pie, Loz is making Brandy Snaps. Pours murky dirty grubby yellowy colour with a white head. Getting dusty hop from the off, nice softness in the mouth, juicy and even a little bitterness cutting through, not sure about the dustiness though, tropical flourish adds to an interesting if rather puzzling beer.

Can picked up from Hoptimism website, Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK. Had this at home Friday 18th December 2020 listening to Iggy Pop on 6 Music with the Iggy confidential show we had Chicken Lababada from the Curryguy tonight it was really nice with homemade Nan bread and Onion Bhajis. Pours murky dark brown/black with a mid sized off white head. Smooth and quite rich, light coffee notes, bitterness punctuates through offering up a little citrussy bitterness but it could be more bitter, seems a little lost with it's Identity. Roasty and toasty but also smooth and rich, I like it but I like my BIPAS especially big one's like this to be a bit more aggressive.

Can. Beer Stop, Dronfield. Muddy dark brown. Fine beige head is lasting and a little leggy. The body of the beer looks grim to be honest. Nose has milky coffee (knock the oats on the head in a CDA, ffs). Some charred citrus. Taste is milky sweet, with some roast malt bitterness. Virtually no hop bitterness that I can detect. Smooth enough mouthfeel. Fine carbonation. Lingering bitterness to finish.
