ISLE OF MIXED FERM
Islay Whisky Barrel Aged, Mixed Ferment Imperial Sour, with Scottish Raspberries, Tayberries and Honey. Fermented on Hornindal Kveik - a blend of cooperative farmhouse strains which produce a tropical flavour profile, with a complex aroma that presents as subtle stone fruit, pineapple, and dried fruit leather - and a unique species of Lachancea yeast selected for its ability to produce lactic acid. Aged in Islay whisky barrels for 6 months, to add complex yet subtle peat-smoked character, with 140g/l Raspberries, 85g/L Tayberries, and 70g/L Caramelised Polyflora Honey. NECTARNOMICON This thick and juicy Nectar IPA was co-fermented with a wild strain of nectar specialist yeast harvested from wildflowers (Metschnikowia Reukaufii) and another specialist yeast able to unlock bound thiols. This Upfront collaboration with Holy Goat Brewing combines their experiences of using nectar yeasts and utilising polyfunctional thiols, with the goal to produce the most intensely aromatic and flavourful IPA possible. Dry-hopped with hefty quantities of Cryo Mosaic, Citra, and Idaho 7. BULLHOUSE
SLURP
One to tantalise the old taste buds. Slurp is kettle soured with Bullhouse's house lactobacillus culture, resulting in a bright and sour base. They have added a generous amount of passionfruit to the FV, infusing the beer with juicy tropical notes that perfectly complement the sourness. GULP Gulp has the same base as Slurp but this time they've added a load of fresh raspberry and mango puree to their clean, tart base, resulting in an immensely gulp-able, thirst quenching fruited sour. MERC BRO Bullhouse's legendary triple dry-hopped NEIPA is here! A hazy, candied tropical fruit and pineapple aroma and flavour. Smooth creamy, chewy malty body. Triple dry hopped with Galaxy, Simcoe and Mosaic. NEON RAPTOR
HYDRA FIGHT
A huge tropical whirlwind of flavoursome, juicy fruitiness. This months Monster Series beer is Hydra Fight a Pineapple, Passionfruit and Mango Imperial Fruited Gose at a whopping 10% You may have seen that due to the new duty changes beers over 8.4% will have a higher rate to pay. This does mean this beer will be a little more than it was previously and sadly there’s very little we can do about it but we promise it's worth it! PINCH POINT Last September, when Australian post punk heroes Pinch Point, played at Neon Raptor's local DIY venue JT Soar, they asked for some decent local ale on their rider. Sadly for them they ended up with theirs! We kid of course, they loved it, and so they just had to do a collaboration on their return to Nottingham. Pinch Points Pacific (ish) Pale is a smashable summer ale with hints of lime and pineapple. DEYA
UNEXPECTED ITEM IN THE BAGGGAGE AREA
A sticky DIPA with a 50:50 split between Citra and Mosaic. Layers of BBC, T90 and Cryo pellets form a switchback of tropical fruit and deep green things. X Diecast LONGTIME SUNSHINE A single hop Citra beer. Notes of lemon, lime and mango. Easy. LOOK AT US NOW A pale ale brewed with Deya's long time friends at Clapton Craft. On the nose there is loads of lime and soft tropical fruit, leading to more bright zesty citrus on the palate, courtesy of Motueka, Galaxy and Pacific Sunrise. POMONA ISLAND
THE CAT CAME BACK
Pomona gave this Pale a dry hop of Cryo Mosaic and Eclipse, had a sip, thought it was a goner but the can came back to my lips, the very next second. It just couldn’t stay away. WIGGLY WORLD So I do Mosaic and I do Citra. So I do Idaho 7 and I do Sabro. It’s a Small Pale, it’s never straight up and down. BEAK
SHRUG
This fruited sour was brewed with over a tonne of blueberries along with huge amounts of vanilla and black cherry. Is it even beer? Who knows. It’s sweet and tangy in all the right places with kirsch on the nose followed by flavours reminiscent of marzipan, black forest gateau and panna cotta. ATOM
WALKING ON THE MOON
Atom's brand new IPA is crammed with a massive dry hop of Citra, Galaxy and Riwaka and a heavy grist of oats for a soft, velvety mouthfeel. Its smooth body is drenched with flavours of grapefruit, mango and passionfruit. Brewed in collaboration with the beautiful and amazing folk from Message In A Bottle in Cleethorpes. AZVEX
SEMIOTIC STANDARD
With copious amounts of Nelson Sauvin, Citra & Azacca bursting through, this IPA is terrifyingly good. Loads of grape and diesel character from the Nelson and a citrus touch from the Citra and Azacca. Magic. GYROSCOPIC POOL TABLE It's no secret that Azvex like Pale Ales and here is another banger. Dry hopped with El Dorado, Strata & Azacca to give a delightful berry note. Unbelievably sinkable at only 5.2%. NORTHERN MONK
