Tonight I'm drinking a 6.0% NEIPA from @dan125 called "Day Down Margate" (love the label btw).
Cheers Steve really glad you enjoyed itTonight's beer is an interesting one, a coconut IPA made by @clarkeuk
I've never had a coconut beer so intrigued to see how it works...
Aroma
Lovely aroma of tropical fruit and light coconut which is unusual but really delicious.
Appearance
Lightly hazy but a very nice deep copper colour, a small white head with very good retention.
Flavour
This is really damn good. The coconut comes through beautifully, almost a lightly toasted flavour, very well balanced with the other flavours. The fruity hops are noticeable but not overpowering and the bitterness is quite mellow but lingers on the tongue.
Overall Impression
I've had many "flavoured" beers over the years, and in general I find them pretty disappointing. Often the balance is off, either too much or too little of the flavouring/addition. This is how to do it properly. The coconut is perfectly balanced with the other flavours, and it really works. I love coconut, but I'll be honest, I was a little dubious about how it would work in an IPA. This recipe is bang on though, I really want to see how you used the coconut because I'm definitely adding this to my brew list. A very unusual beer but fantastic, great job mate and many thanks for sending this! :hat: I'll hopefully have something to send you soon, did I send you a Westvleteren clone yet?
