Easy winner this week was the New Wave IPA, which was exactly what it said on the tin: a very hop forward IPA, with an incredible long finish. Another beauty from Tigertops. It's such a low key operation, that it's very difficult to find out any additional info about the beers.

Same brewery as last week for me Black Wolf, although this time it's going to be their ROK IPA.
It's a cracking good beer, but at 4% it's probably not really an IPa whatever they choose to call it.
