Bumpy Road is a collaboration with our lovely friends at Beak Brewery, one of whom inadvertently enjoyed a trip across a farmer’s field on the way to a local hostelry during his last visit to us. We decided to brew a special double IPA together, combining both our California ale yeast and their London Fog strain to create a beer greater than the sum of its parts. Bumpy Road pours a hazy yellow, exuding aromas of pineapple and passionfruit. The body is soft and pillowy with a hint of bitterness. On the palate there is a profusion of sweet fruit.

Copenhagen 22/5 2021. 44 cl can from Meny, Borups Allé, Frb. F. White can in Thornbridge's usual design with blue ornaments. Beak has the bottom of the can with the guy lugging a huge yellow bottle around while reading a red pamphlet.
Pours unclear - almost hazy - golden yellow with a mid-sized white head. Settles as a thin layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing.
Aroma is medium intense with a sweet, fruity odor mingling with citric scents. Peach and pineapple. Hints of strawberry ice cream. Citrus and lime.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is fairly intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a somewhat stronger citric bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a sweet undertone. Lingers for a while. Finish is semi-dry.
Fine light DIPA with a sweet, pleasant note and a appropriately bitter flavor.
