Salt crusted fish or a big green curry
95/100
Mash up of sweet carapils, spicy rye and zest, using west coast hops.
Big, Bold & Ballsy
One of their earliest recipes, they wanted to push this big IPA all the way. So they packed it full of Rye and dry hopped it for days with American hops, using old pool balls to weigh the hop sack down in the beer. Hence the name.
Hops: Magnum, Columbus, Cascade

Beef stew, lamb shank braised with beer and served on bed of mash
99/100
A big fat contradiction, jet black, but light and hoppy. Heavy-handed use of columbus, chinook and citra and some clever German Malt, make a big, stinky brew and a big tasty beer :-)
Close to perfection !

The lower alcohol % makes this a great session APA option. Great for any spicy dishes or a big juicy rump steak.
96/100 - 99/100 style
Big, hoppy and fresh. American hops added in ever increasing amounts at the end of the boil and in the fermenter to give huge flavour and aroma.
Very well balanced and great bitterness that lingers to remind you of how good it was and to have another sip.
Hops: Magnum, Columbus, Bravo, Amarillo
