What are ya having yourself??
That's what I asked the man in the off license or bottle shop as my friends down under would say.. He recommended a few, and this bad boy was one of them. I won't lie to you this one absolutely hit the spot... Now the sun was beating down some delicious waves and I was chilling in my back garden, chomping on some sushi, so the setting was spot on... If I was sitting in a bus shelter in the rain waiting for a bus that seemed to be never arriving, would I have enjoyed it as much??
Possibly not, but I wasn't so, suffice to say this was bloody lovely :o)
So without further rumblings...
This weeks beer of the week is.....
Whiplash Body Riddle IPA
Review
A massive citrussy hit of this IPA - right up my street. The can explodes with hoppy deliciousness on opening, and the taste delivers on the promising aroma. Packed full of flavour.
It was really cloudy, and had a nice golden colouring. Check out the sediment in the pics below.
A toast to the sky
Now that's what I call sediment...
The carbonation was all good as the fella says...
...
This week, the food that went with the brew was a little tray of sushi....
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Sushi :o)
Can Art
I loved the can art on this one, the name captures it perfectly really..
Stats
- Brewer: Brewer: Whiplash @Larkin's Brewery, Unit 2 Renmore Business Park, Kilcoole, Co Wicklow, Ireland
- Alcohol Content: 4.5%
- IBU - 26
- EBC - 8
- Size: 330ml/33cl can
- What they say: Our interpretation of a modern American Pale Ale - Body Riddle arrives at near pilsner straw colour from its minimal malt base of Floor Malted British Pale Malt, Carapils and Wheat Malt so as not to crowd a busy bright hop bill of Lemondrop, Galaxy, Simcoe and Ekuanot hops.
As per our usual delivery we’ve packed this one out with a nose of lemon rind, passionfruit, grapefruit juice and fresh piney goodness that follows through to a silky soft, sessionable body.

Looks amazing mate. And that can art is awesome. I love a good fruity IPA as well. This one looks near on perfect. I had to stop and stare at the can hanging off the glass until I worked out what you'd done. Very tricky indeed. :P

Good review and photos! The can art was pretty funky, hard to figure out what they were going for there. IPAs are not my thing but I like to read beer reviews none the less.

Thanks a lot man. The can art links to the name body riddle.... So there is a hand, a leg and an arm intertwined with that black and white stripping... Quite cool actually, my photos possibly didn't do it full justice..

Sushi + good IPA = double delight :) I don't know why I expected this one to be more alcoholic - ABV of 4.5% is kinda disappointing 😁 The shots against the sky are very nice!

Double delight is right!! I think you'd prefer a double-double delight with a double IPA at 6 or 7%... Whiplash do one actually called Swoon, which would be right up your street, but between the two, I'd chose this one.. Really really refreshing, I could neck quite a few of these :o)
