COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Filtered. Cask: Unfiltered.
Also sold as Tesco Finest American Double IPA
Ingredients: Maris Otter, Crystal malt, Caramalt; Centennial, Columbus, Simcoe hops. Dry Hops: Centennial, Columbus, Simcoe. IBU 150
This little bottle has a grandiloquent story to tell. 2,204 malted Maris Otter grains gave all they had to offer the world to provide the robustly delicate toffee malt canvas for the ensuing epic. 6 Hop Cones willingly sacrificed themselves in fiery cauldron that is our brew kettle to ensure your mouth is left feeling punished and puckering for more. 9,900,000,000 yeast cells frantically fermented their little hearts out as the sugars were magically turned into alcohol in the dark depths of our fermentation tanks. This explicit ale has more hops and bitterness that any other beer brewed in the UK. This is an extreme beer rollercoaster for freaks, gypsies and international chess superstars.

Note this is for the new petrol blue coloured labels with white lettering, which is 9.2%. Ratings for the older bottles with with bright blue label and black lettering should go under the first edition.

Very nice DIPA. Great hoppy aromas. Strong malt presence in taste, with the bitterness and fruitiness of the hops. Strong on alcohol and you can taste that.

genHANS (1) - Poznan, POLAND - JUN 11, 2013 does not count
butelka 330ml, nalane do sniftera. Piana niska, szybko opada do zera. Aromat: troche cytrusów, lekka nuta żywiczno chmielowa, do tego wyraźny karmel, oraz wyraźny alkohol. Smak: troche karmelu, cytrusy, alkohol, goryczka, akcenty chmielowe, alkohol drażniący. Wysycenie słabe bardzo. Kolor- bursztynowy. Ogólnie- porażka, 150ibu to jest na etykiecie, a nie w piwie....

Silvan7 (154) - Samarate, ITALY - JUN 11, 2013
Bottle @ Centoundici. Incredibilmente profumata, difficile descrivere quanto sia intenso il profumo del luppolo e quanto invitante il vinoso alcolico del malto. Il colore è rosso rubino, ricorda un grignolino, la schiuma è color lana grezza molto fine e poco persistente. lacing lunghissimo. Il gusto è inizialmente dolce, caldo alcolico, fruttato e con sentori di toffee. poi sopraggiunge la luppolatura che sa di erba appena tagliata, di menta fresca ed altre erbe aromatiche. Buon corpo, finale amaro che obbliga alla seconda sorsata.

Incredible IPA. Not as sensational as the I Hardcore You by Mikkeler but doesn’t fall behind a lot. Great aroma fills your nose and the great palate is a party on your tongue.

agent_persik (116) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - JUN 6, 2013
Clean amber color, small white head. Strong aroma of fruity hops, resin, pine, malt with notes of cask and some honey. Taste is fruity, malty and hoppy, mildly sweet initially with heavily bitter but pleasant long finish. Full body and medium carbonation. Great smooth ale with a lot of flavour.

Pours dark with creamy head. Head lingers till last. Aroma upon opening is woody with hints of chocolate. Texture is creamy. No harsh aftertaste which is good considering abv. Enjoyable beer
