Proper Hoppy Bitter British Isles DIPAs

Fantastic to see you on here again Zimbo!

Yes, I know what you mean, it used to be that so much hops were being used on DIPAs it would go right through the resinous citrus notes and start giving menthol flavours.

Even the Microbreweries are slacking on tongue punching flavour
Big Eagle 2020
Brew York
is the closest to that recently but still not super charged hops
I'm working at the moment, when finished will run through some big IBU numbers

 

@jazzyjeff13 seemed to quite like Black Iris circle of Snakes, again no IBU but I have a can that I am going to drink tomorrow

*edit*
I tried to use IBU measurements to find appropriate DIPAs but a lot aren’t listed, those that I could find were either limited runs or imports and I ended up with just Jaipur X & Mr President, sorry.

 

Its a combination of UK BA not being as lively as it once was and the current trend of juice led IPAs & DIPAs

 

Hang on, I have
So can I order

Dig Brew Co:
Waka/Jawaka 8% DIPA
Being delivered tomorrow and promises what you ask by the sounds of it

 

I think this was left a little too long on the shelf but

I think this which is currently being delivered to my home might fit the bill

Notes: This is a tribute to the strong, heavily hopped West Coast beers that captured our hearts by combining incredible depth of flavour, with effortless drinkability. It’s rich and intense yet still soft, fresh and bright, with a finish that’s deliciously dry and clean rather than aggressively bitter.

 

Another contender:

Redwillow’s Big beer, this is what they have to say about it
“There is nothing subtle about this West Coast style DIPA. Big dank hop aromas, big satisfying mouth feel and big bitterness on the finish.
This beer is not far away, it’s in your face!”

will report back with my findings lol

 

Getting there, nice bitter finish but nor enough pine or sweet malt to be a true WCIPA
