Pint of gravity cask in my local for the monthly quiz night. Ok, cards on the table. This is one of the best beers I've ever had. Perfect condition and all the better for the gravity. This is a top English DIPA and I honestly don't care if anyone disagrees. Huge rich and bitter hops that swamped the palate and lingered long on the tastebuds and the memory. Big hit of alcohol that balanced out those huge and rich hops. This is English craft brewing. It doesn't ape the USA, but is a true reflection of English brewing. So near to being a 10, but to achieve that it has to have some sort of psychological impact on me.
