650ml bottle - the latest in their Dragon Series of DIPAs. Also, the place admin here for Alley Kat really needs to up their game (or learn how to read).
This beer pours a clear, medium copper amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves some dispersing campfire smoke pattern lace around the glass as it lazily subsides.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, candied citrus rind, a hint of uric acid, some mild stoney flintiness, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, some orange, red grapefruit, and lemon citrus pith, further indistinct tropical fruity notes, a damp minerality, and more leafy, herbal, and resinous piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coddling frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess encroaching as things warm up by this particular point in the game. It finishes off-dry, the mixed frooty characters showing some lingering sass.
Overall - once again, this iteration exhibits the single hop's best essences, rendering a very enjoyable quaff. Add in the damned-near invisible 15-proof booze factor, and it's sippy-sippy time for the rest of the waning daylight!
