Simon Tomlinson: WTF is an IPA Cold? The beer styles on UT are madness
Patrick Smart is drinking a Hobgoblin Stout by Wychwood Brewery
The nose is a mixture of citrus infused dark chocolate, copper notes, earthy coffee with vanilla extract. The taste is roasted malts, weak black coffee that is followed by a carbonation that reveals citrus, smoky tones and a quick dark bitterness.

The nose is clean, mango, clean cut citrus, sweet and malty with a grassy edge. The taste has a very extreme and constant sour note that comes in the form of blueberries, citrus and a small amount of zingy pine sharpness that soon turns bitter.

Patrick Smart: Simon T. Good evening Simon 🫡. So the story goes is that cold IPA is brewed with lager yeast at colder temperatures giving it a lighter taste and body.

Patrick Smart is drinking a Solar Flare by Beavertown
Nose is straight up orange juice, pineapple chunks, grapefruit, fizzy mango and a slight pine moment. The taste starts with a nice blood orange sweetness, and grapefruit sourness that is generously carbonated with a medium to thick viscosity.

The nose is fruit salad sweets! But ofcourse there is individual aromas like peach, blood orange, tangerine, jammy apricots and passion fruit. The taste is solid and holds up the peach and tangerine notes but lacks the body that it deserves.

The nose is spice, orange peel, grapefruit, sweet malts, pine and grassy. Taste wise the sweetness is full on and lingers throughout the journey, secondary to this is a resin presence and grapefruit spice that intensifies as you drink
