I enjoyed this at The Foundry and Growler Bar almost 4 years ago so I bought a can and put it in the beer celler. For some reason I decided to try it again today. I worked hard and I'm exhausted and I deserve this and some Stanley Cup on TV. Opaque brown color, deep tan head that recedes. Super tiny bubbles that coat the inside of the class. Aroma belies the 9.5% alcohol, seems stronger, perhaps the aging, heavy roasted malt, earthy. Flavor presents a heavy feel on a powerful yet mildly roasted malt, low effervescence, dry on the tongue, semi-sweet, again earthy, toasted caramel in the background. As a finish arrives, I get traces of dark cocoa and the alcohol intensifies, oddly, only affecting the mouth. This has been in the can now for 4 years so I did not read my previous review because I did not want it to skew my taste buds. I'll describe it as hardy, robust, full of body with an undisguised but not overwhelming alcohol presence. Not quite chewy but it will definitely fill you. If they are still brewing this, I would buy another. P.S. I miss the Thrashers 🏒

Tropical fruit aromas and flavours. Smooth and easy drinking despite ABV. Very good.

Lovely American IPA tropical & easy drinking

Really good cask IPA, light and citrusy and doesn't taste as strong as it is at 6% 👍

Decent fruity aroma. Hoppy taste with a nice tropical fruit note. slight bitter finish but enjoyable. Smooth and easy drinking sipping ale because of the abv. Version I had was only 6.0% & brewed in England by Hook Norton Brewery. It's part of the spoons beer festival range

This is the JDW version. It's got all the beautiful hoppiness and flavours, I really must try the original. The picture is Ayrton Senna at Estoril. His first win for JPS Team Lotus.
