Power Of The Voodoo
Beavertown Brewery

 

330ml can bought from Lighthouse Wines, Jordanstown

Poured a golden orange colour with a slight haze. Slightly off white head poured quite big and foamy then faded fairly quickly to wispy covering with thick edging... no carbonation at all... light patchy lacing...

Aroma - Lots of (over) ripe tropical fruits (pineapples, limes, mangoes, grapefruits), strong piney resin, citrus and grassy hops, some rubberiness, floral honey, very perfumed, oaky traces, some vanilla, faint talcum powder / chalky notes, light almond nuttiness, some boozy esters...

Taste - Lots of strong piney and citrusy hop bitterness to the fore with some medicinal notes in the background, quite herbal - hints of basil and rosemary, very floral and perfumed, some light sweet malts come through after the hops, very spicy and juicy fruits (grapefruits, limes, sour apples, pears), some chalkiness, faint vegetal traces...

M&D - Fairly smooth with a little oiliness in the background then some sharpness comes through... medium bodied... probably couldn't drink too many of these in one sitting...

Overall - An excellent and very well balanced DIPA... recommended...

 

 

 

 

 

Can at home in London - sourced from Ales by Mail. Pours totally clear honey-gold, lightly effervescent, with a lasting, creamy off-white head. Monstrously dank on the nose, buckets of pine, ripe orange, mango. Medium to heavy sweet flavor with tons of liquefied citrus fruits, gooey pine, honey, undertones of bready sugars, melon. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Massively resinous on the finish with gooey sap, light piney bitterness, more bread, subtle alcohol warmth, orange and tangerine, garlic, mango, apricot. This is a heavy-hitting IPA, pretty dank and dirty, and also glorious.
