Now this was a split batch. 27L was dry hopped as above. The other 17L was dry hopped with Simcoe, Amarillo and Columbus (can't quite remember the combo) at 4g/L all up. That 17L went into keg and was topped up with the ama/sim hopped ale. That is the case swap beer.

Decanted into a jug and i could smell huge passionfruit notes. Now in the half pint glass (imperial) pours a slightly hazy (my fault maybe, poured in the dark and might have picked up a bit of sediment) golden amber with a tightly packed head. Passionfruit, pine, mango and some ripe papaya aroma wise. Treacle toffee and caramel maltiness with some mandarin and pssionfruit notes and a moderate bitterness that hangs about for a while making you savour the beer.

Liking this one a whole lot and wishing i had another bottle already.Cheers

Pours a great orange colour with a nice hop aroma. First mouthful and nice malt followed quickly with spiced hops then into that huge bitterness that lingers for ages on the tongue. This is one awesome beer both Greydog and me loved this one. Great job Studio1.

Had this one last night after a curry and a the last of my keg of Pilsnzer :(

Poured deep, hazy orange with a long lasting, lacing white head.
Aroma of US hops with passionfruit, tropical fruits, bread & sweet caramel.
Carbonation is spot on. Nice & smooth in the mouth. Caramel & tropiccal fruit again in the flavour with a very firm bitterness. Bitterness is nice & smooth and lasts all through the taste and long into the finish.

Very clean and well brewed. No faults that I could pick and no complaints from me.

Cheers
