Mike's Premium Organic Double IPA
Pours murky dark amber with a large, fading head. Nose shows lots of sweet fruit, confectionary (mmm, jelly snakes), resinous hops and trucksloads of sweet caramel and sugary malt. Flavours are similarly malty, with resinous pine being the main hop character. Some fruit transfers through but nothing like in the aroma. There's a bold bitterness in the finish but really, the sweet caramel malt tramples all over it. Some hot alcohol shows. Could use more carbonation, very syrupy body. Quite the malt bomb...
