COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle and keg: Filtered. Cask: Unfiltered.
Ingredients: Marris Otter Extra Pale Malt; Chinook, Crystal, Motoeka hops. IBUs 65
A beer of inherent contradiction. This heavy weight of the beer world is strikingly delicate with a white gold appearance. The light fruity aroma dominates the initial confrontation; lychee, kiwi and passionfruit all prevail with subtle nuances of cherry and strawberry. Don’t be fooled however by this smooth medium bodied ale. As it trickles down your throat as this wolf in sheep’s clothing begins to grow teeth. The bite comes as the bitterness builds and endures no matter how hard the malty sweetness of the alcohol tries to tame this ferocious beast.

NOTE: The recipe was changed at the end of 2009, and this version is no longer made, if you have a bottle with a BBD after 1.1.12, you should go to the "Punk IPA (5.4%)" version.

greglikesbeer (33) - Ancaster, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 28, 2012
Pours lazy, pale yellow with a thin white head. Fruity hops dominate the aroma. Quite a bit of carbonation; taste is pine bitterness followed by a bit of fruity mango and citrus sweetness. Finish is dry with lemon peel bitterness. Reasonably refreshing given the bitterness. Nice, but not incredibly complex.

waltolla (11) - radcliffe, Greater Manchester, ENGLAND - FEB 12, 2012
AROMA - Tropical fruit, mainly mango with a touch of passion fruit. HEAD - Creamy medium head quickly reduces to a light covering. ATTACK - Bitter/sweet tropical fruits, mainly mango. MID PALATE - Apples and a slight metallic taste. FINISH - Bitter like lemon peel. BODY - Light. COLOUR - Light golden. OVERALL - A unique flavour, very refreshing and obviously heavily dry hopped, tastes just amazing. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
