Leeds Beer Week, a week of beer related events across as many beer orientated venues as possible. The idea is to open up the beer community in Leeds and make it as accessible as possible for all to enjoy.

This beer embodies those ideas of inclusivity by making an easy and accessible IPA that is as tasty as it is easy drinking. Aromas of sweet cream, honey and strawberries. A soft, silky and super smooth mouthfeel and balanced flavour of fleshy lychees, oranges and honeydew melon.

Hops: Mosaic, HBC 431, HBC 472

Another beer share from the lads in the #FPLBeerClub, thanks again to Paul for the can! Leeds Beer Week pours a hazy golden amber with a full fingers worth of frothy, complex, off white head that lingers with some excellent lacing. The smell is tropical fruit with mango and papaya along with citrus notes of orange and tangerine, a biscuity malt and a hint of vanilla. The taste is smooth and well balanced as it hits the palette with the tropical and citrus notes with a mild pine bite to go with an underlying sweetness and some earthy tones.

Pours a hazy, golden amber, peach coloration with a medium, creamy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and sweet, juicy citrus/tropical hops: orange, tangerine, papaya, as well as hints of red berries, vanilla and herbal/earthy notes as well. Taste is an absolutely intriguing balance of light, biscuity malt, citrus/tropical hops and quite a herbal, earthy, almost woody character, with notes of orange, tangerine, papaya, vanilla and oak. Finishes with a light/medium bitterness and some tropical, earthy/woody and vanilla notes lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

This is quite an intriguing, unusual, but superbly executed IPA with some unique herbal, earthy, woody notes in addition to the more common tropical/citrus characteristics, almost giving this as bourbon barrel-aged feel thanks to the use of experimental HBC 431 and 472 hops, with a touch of vanilla as well. Quite fascinating and enjoyable at the same time, really.
