The newest batch is 037 and the BBD 03/09/10 (British dating) anything before this date or batch is the old version.

Bomber courtesy of lukin013. Aroma of may be some apriccots or peaches.. Cloudy yellow body with white head. Flavor had a citric acid bitterness thoughout. Seemed like I was chewing on citrus with the thick body for this brew. Definently unique kind of IIPA from the ones I’ve had before.

A pretty tasty aroma-citrusy and flowery. The flavor on this is quite dry, but a tasty dry and some citrus. Great finish. I believe this was the new version.

Bottle. Drank in honor of the startof the (British) Open and Milkman Dan’s 40th day of existence. Yeah, bitch, I honor you. Pours a lifeless, thin cheddar orange with a bubbly head. Aroma is sweetened chedder cheese wood plank and fruit juice. Flavor is bitter sea-water-infused grapefruit with a sour peach finish. Nice, coating mouthfeel that leaves a lingering presence on the tongue. Sour, typical UK bitterness; otherwise, too much of a good thing; unecessary.

Pours with an orange gold body with little head and not much lacing. It’s slightly sweet and malty with a light fruity hop note and a lingering bitterness. Medium bodied and slightly dry.

Bottle shared generously by Robert at State Line. The pour was fairly typical for a dIPA, although the body wasn’t hazy at all (makes sense, says here it’s filtered). The aroma was mostly floral hops, some fruity elements. The flavor followed the aroma, some mustiness, and the floral-fruity combo had something about it that was odd, almost like a hard candy was dipped in it for a while and allowed to premeate some sugars/flavoring into the beer. Mouthfeel was pretty light within style. Nothing special, but certainly drinkable. Thanks, Robert, a good time.

Hazy golden with a rocky white head. Grapefruit and earthy hops aroma. Creamy caramel taste with a decent bitter bite with a long dirty musty aftertaste.
