Pours amber with a fading head.
Nose shows resinous pine and heavy clean sweet malt. Some spicy hops too.
Heavy-hitting flavours. Loads of sweet clean malt, piny, resinous and grapefruit-like hops followed by a punchy bitterness.

Sample on tap at What’s Brewing Beer Festival, Stavanger, as Buxton 9th Cloud Double IPA. Orange colour. Piney hops in the aroma. Loads of piney hops in the flavour too, also grapefruit. Decent malts, but not too sweet. One of the better beers of the festival.

Many thanks to Gavin for providing the bottle.

Yields an amber-orange color, with a small, white head.

Smells of tropical, ripe fruits, blending immediately into biscuity malts. Reveals a tremendous amount of wild honey, enhancing primarly the malts, leading to a very pronounced malt foundation. The hops are mainly defined by orange, in the most ripe way possible, exhibiting a juicy quality.

Has a lower carbonation, adding to a soft mouthfeel, and a medium bodied beer, which isn't too refreshing, as for its high malt amount.

Begins with toffee infused malts, turning even sweeter as the carbonation hits the palate, resulting in a toffee, cakey flavor. To this, honey gets added, balanced by orange defined hops. The hops bitterness is subdued, as the beers sweet, malty foundation wraps them up very effectivly. Only during the finish, the hops are able to stand out on themselves, overpowering the malts by adding a slick dryness to the taste.

This packs not enough hops to stand out against the very pronounced malts for a long while. Its honey quality could enhance the beers tropical bitterness, while it actually enhances the malts.

A 330ml bottle with a BB of Nov 2015 (bottled Feb 2015). Picked up recently from Trembling Madness in York. Described as a double IPA hopped with Simcoe and Mosaic.

A: Poured into a Duvel tulip. Bottle conditioned. A hazy orange-amber hue with floating sediment and light carbonation. Yields a large head of creamy white foam that lasts for a few minutes before reducing to a patchy surface layer. Faint lacing.

S: Aroma of intensely fruity hops with hints of grapefruit, orange peel, clementine, citrus, white grape, mild pine, subtle grass, sweet malt, earthy yeast and stewed hops. Fantastically hoppy.

T: Tastes of amazingly fruity aromatic hops with a powerful bitter finish. Notes of grapefruit, orange rind, citrus, pine resin, weed, subtle white grape, caramel malt, earthy yeast and stewed hops. Slightly sweet, followed by a muscular hop-driven bitterness upon swallowing.

M: Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with soft carbonation and good body. Hop oils stimulate the palate. Somewhat astringent, accompanied by an aftertaste of bitter aromatic hops, citrus, earthy yeast and mild malt.

O: Delicious - a superb DIPA. Looks good, while the aroma and flavour are sublimely hop-laden. Plenty of citrus and pine, underpinned by malt and yeast hints. Nice body, though a shade more carbonation might liven it up. A hop-head's delight; goes down a treat. Well worth sampling if you stumble across it.

Steady clingy eggshell foam over pale amber. 4
Flowers, mango, orange oil, honeydew rind, maybe some raspberry, plus a whiff of something dank and dangerous. 4.25
Sugar cookies and blueberry muffins that immediately have holes punched in them by fresh apricot, clementine, lime, evergreen and white melon hops. 4.25
Tangerine + pink grapefruit sorbet end and icy pine-dry ending.
Round, clean, just past light, slight oil. 4.25

Simcoe + Mosaic.

10 days off of 6 months in the bottle, so not quite dead but not really fresh. (And with Shelton Bros. label?!) A nose that shifts with every sniff gives way to minimal malts overlaid by some very pleasantly shifty hops. A DIPA very much in the US tradition (or BD Hardcore.) Simcoe pine is there but it plays second to the fruit (esp citrus zest), and dank is restrained despite what the nose promised. Some cream to the body, not much heat, easy on the finish - probably the best thing from Buxton. 4
