Great review, as usual. I love the graphics !

Beavertown Skull King (8.7% abv) 

An evolution of the ridiculously limited Beavertown / Naparbier collaboration double IPA, Bone King, Skull King has been gettin’ mad love from those lucky enough to try it. Having missed last years release I made sure I got my fair share this year, and I’ve sunk a good few of the London brewed DIPA’s over the last few days. So. The huge pineapple of the aroma follows onto the palate alongside other bold tropical fruits including papaya, lychee, and dried apricot, with a hint of mango, a good dose of pine, some dry grass, and zesty grapefruit and lime. There’s a biscuity, caramel maltiness in there, but the hops rule absolutely. Lightly sweet up front to medium dry and bitter in the finish, it’s crisp, medium bodied and carbed, and despite being a touch harsh with the alcohol it’s a tasty brew indeed. Cheers, y’all!

Pressure Drop Alligator Tugboat (7.2% abv)

It’s my first go at this limited annual release Simcoe IPA from London’s Pressure Drop brewery, which was honestly worth buying just for the label designed by London graffiti / street artist Sweet Toof. That the beer’s pretty good is a nice bonus. Think pine tree and dried flower flavoured gummy bears riding toffee rafts down grapefruit marmalade rapids. Yup. Juicy and aromatic hops, bold malts, soft in the mouth, dry and bitter to finish. Enjoyed it.

Brew by Numbers 55/01 Double IPA (9.2% abv)

Born under a railway arch in south London, this is yet another UK brewed double IPA that’s been causing a stir of late. Nothing like the absurd level of hype that’s surrounded certain DIPA releases from Manchester’s Cloudwater or fellow Londoners Beavertown, mind. Rather, a gentle rippling of the craft beer community’s collective conscience. A unified raising of eyebrows. And I know what you’re thinkin’. “Holy shittin’ fudgesticks!!! How can it possibly live up to being responsible for mass mild facial movements?” By being awesome, that’s how. 

It pours a gorgeous, depthless, candy orange, the aroma an assault of ripe, juice-alicious tropical and citrus fruit notes that follow into the taste. That taste, a dank, oily, and resinous blended fruit salad of tangerine, mango, passion fruit, peach, and melon, joined by pine sprinkled dirty marmalade on toast and soothing caramelised biscuit malts. It’s bittersweet, soft, smooth, medium bodied, and downright delicious. 

Aye, this did a proper number (Ha!*) on me, those dank hop notes, the sticky, oily feel, the absence of any noticeable booze, just superb and absolutely worthy of a place amongst the top tier of UK brewed DIPA’s. I’d actually take it over any of those more hyped brews of late. Srsly. Good jod, tunnel lurkers!
