It pours a cloudy, golden colour with a white head. Aroma is of American citrusy hops. Flavour is delicious of the same. One of the best beers I've had in recent months.

This is a hefty, heavy rogue of a double IPA. It manages to balance a massive, dangerous alcoholic strength with a mouthfeel as soft as a cloud. It may not have the sharp, crystal clarity of Ossett’s old-school ales, but for those who want to lose themselves in a thick, fruit-forward fog, the Smog Rat is a magnificent beast to hunt down.

Lovely crumble sour. You can taste both apple and blackberry without either flavour being overpowering.

The hops are overpowering. It takes a few tastes to recalibrate. It does carry a pleasant after taste.

Very tasty. Although it is full bodied it was surprisingly smooth.

Really sweet, fruity, hint of coconut. Pineapple finish

Strong and fruity - quite a lot to like! 😝
