This is the second collaboration between Saltaire (one of my new favourite breweries) and Dark Star (one of my old favourite breweries). I didn't get a chance to try the previous collab, a Bock that came out earlier this year, but I knew I couldn't miss this one and picked a bottle up at the
House of Trembling Madness in York last weekend. This is another beer inspired by the visit of the Tour de France to Yorkshire. The beer is IPA style brewed with French grown Triskel and
Brewers Gold hops. It pours a quite unusual hazy dull brown that kind of
resembles a muddy puddle. Thankfully it tastes much better than it looks and
nice biscuit malt flavours are balanced by some sublte hop flavours of pine
with a touch of fruit. A decent IPA style brew with a bit of a twist.
