Golden colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a fair amount of tropical fruit hop notes. Decent malty backbone too.

Bottle, takeout from BrewDog. Dark yellow or light gold, cloudy. Not much of the voluminous head promised in the description, but I can cope. Gooseberry, lemongrass, wildflower and hay in the aroma. The taste is quite bitter and more than a little bit astringent. The astringency seems to overtake in the finish, but there are white grape and floral notes in the aftertaste. A good beer: it smells great, and it has loads of character for the ABV. But a bit messy in the taste, so not perfect.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light and dry, good fine carbonation. Malts are light, dry and clean and bring some sweetness. Mild orange peel, mild citrus. Light dry finish. Tidy - it’s clean but dry.

Cask at GBBF’17, day one, 08/08/17. Lightly hazed golden with a decent off white cap. Nose is mellow citric peel, melon, straw, grains. Taste comprises floral notes, melon, tangerine, toasted grains, light bread. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Pretty mediocre for the style.

Nice beer, but not as hoppy as expected for a black IPA. Whilst there is some initial fruitiness, the general flavour and finish is rather of a dry stout, with all the roastiness and maltiness of a black IPA but without the distinct hoppiness. Nevertheless a very good beer.

Bottle from O’Brien’s, Athlone [300717]
Blonde, hazy, thin white head
Aroma of soft sweet fruits, ginger, not getting rhubarb as masked by ginger, quite fruity, fresh
Taste of fresh ginger, soft rhubarb, dab of cereal, nice flavour, interesting
Palate - Soft carb, light body, soft sour which is good, refreshing clean palate. Finish is light sour, soft fruits, soft cereal yeast linger
Overall - Very drinakable sour as many are too acidic, nice fruits
