On tap at the LHG HQ, Bristol 1/5/2016. Golden in colour and slightly hazy with a fair bit of fizz. A pleasantly lager, with some lemon sharpness, crisp malts, plenty of hops and decent, bitter finish. Good.

Keg at Brewdog Shepherd’s Bush, London. An orange coloured pour with a thin off white head on top. Rich, hoppy, orange, peach aroma. Tastes rich, dank, hoppy, orange, peach, juicy as hell. This was gorgeous stuff, probably one of the best DIPA’s I’ve ever had. First Left Handed Giant beer for me. Superb stuff!
