Craft Bank Heist Gold : Appearance
Poured out a dark orange golden colour with a thin rim of bubbles that collapsed to a few streaks against the side of the glass.
Craft Bank Heist Gold : Aroma
Pineapple and mango, new style double IPA, with no dank notes nor anything from the classic double IPA of the early years. Medium sweetness with a slight alcohol heat to it as it warms up.
Craft Bank Heist Gold : Taste
Low bitterness to start but something comes through more as it warms up. Big tropical body to the beer with pineapple and mango, and a residual malt sweetness lying in the back. Smooth alcohol heat throughout drinking with a touch of phenolic body present as it warms up. Finishes sweet with tropical and malt noes.
Craft Bank Heist Gold : The Bottom Line
Not a bad first foray into double IPAs but could do with tightening up the recipe.
