Knee Deep Fall Over Juice Simtra, 11.25% abv Triple IPA

The sun is playing a particularly mischievous game of hide and seek with the help of a handful of cheeky clouds when I settled down to open this rather bland lookin' bottle from a Californian brewery rarely seen on these shores. The name "Simtra" held a world of promise though. Simcoe and Citra. Hop elite (don't tell the other hops I said that). The indicated figures then drew forth a crooked smile, the right side of 11% boozy bits by volume and 131 whole bitter points! If it really wanted to it could probl'y send off a coupon and claim a toaster or somethin'. 

I popped the cap and poured the gorgeous marshmallow topped rusty marmelade coloured liquid into my glass and took a great nose full. If you took a few oranges, a grapefruit, a whole pine bough, a carton of tropical fruit juice, and a splash of rum then blended it all together and snorted it through a straw (srsly good fun btw, y'all should try it) it may be similar to this. 

From the aroma (and the sometimes slightly confusing "Triple IPA" tag) I was expecting a bit of a hop bomb and it really didn't disappoint. Imagine sticking your face over the business end of one of those comical gramophone barreled blunderbusses you see in old English period comedy flicks just as it goes off, thing is it'd been loaded with all kindsa lovely stuff instead of ball bearings and nails and fox poo. There's orange flavoured toffee, peach and mango cobbler, candied citrus zest, and pine needles all blasting you in the face and it's bloody marvelous! 

Wild Beer / Beavertown Rubus Maximus, 5.7% abv

Somerset's a funny old place. Turns out that beer lives wild there, and the straw chewing farmer boys at Wild Beer spend their days chasing the tricky little bottles of joy around the fields and meadows, catching what they can with nets and doin' all sorta weird and perverted things with 'em 'till they're happy enough to slap a label on and sell 'em. The pretty bottle you see before you is a particularly twisted experiment, a wild beer / beaver mutation created with the help of London's rodent bothering, Beavertown brewery.

It's actually a fruit beer brewed with nine different grains, packed with raspberries and a good whack of long pepper, and fermented with wild yeast. These guys also chucked a barrel full of sour beer into the mix, jus' fer fun. I have to say I'm a little reluctant to break into that lovely wax seal, but after a whole couple of seconds I'm good. 

A gorgeous ruby red floods from the bottle like a hundred thousand raspberries sacrificed themselves in an orgy of juice letting. Aromas of tart raspberry coulis, sweet vanilla, and earthy wood tease and tickle my hooter. I take a sip. It's like raspberry jam on toast sprinkled with raspberry sherbert and black pepper and dunked in a glass of red wine vinegar. There's a sumptuous juiciness developing into a crisp, light and dry feel, the finish is lingering and pleasantly tart.
