New beer to try last night, a "triple" IPA no less by local brewer Elusive. Just as you'd expect pretty much everything in this beer has been amped up to the max, hops, booze, flavour etc. It's a luscious cocktail of resinous hoppy goodness, a really solid malt backbone and a sticky, full body. It's 10% ABV but it's not got the alcohol burn that some TIPA's have, well balanced and just about keeping a grip on everything! A very good beer, reminiscent of the big American West Coast IPA's of yonder years, like Pliny, Racer 5 and Torpedo et al.
