My pint arrived topped with a sudsy
foam of off-white head. Underneath was a nearly clear golden nectar. The
aroma of this little gem was potently tropical, screaming with juicy
papaya, peach, and mango. Its flavour maintained the Calypso feeling,
with island fruit notes from start to finish. Not as gritty or bitter as
some of my favourite IPAs from GLB, there was still enough hops blast
to hold my attention as my pint speedily vanished before my eyes.
Octopus
wants to fight had a lot of the same attributes as Thrust! An IPA,
though with more emphasis on fruity and less on hoppy. Not as remarkable
as that well bred cousin, Octo still managed to deliver an enjoyable
drinking experience.
I had a lovely photo of this brew on my phone and ready to go, but then my phone committed suicide, so you'll have to imagine it.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
