Dry hopped with Krush and New Zealand-grown Rakau. Dank aroma. Resinous and tropical. Grapefruit and melon notes with a sweet malt backbone.

Manchester draught, 8/23/25.
Clear beer. Small, white head.
Not a gross WC. Woody cedar and coconut with white bread and a clean yeast. No sweat, no resin, low earth. Low acidity.
Big, round, sweet, deep malts up front with sourdough accents and berry and coconut. Wow, that's very malty which the nose doesn't prepare you for. Not that bitter, just Krush-like berry acidity. Very little Simcoe. Just a woody afterthought. But clean and pretty polished if maybe a touch too malty. Tough to complain about that when it's dry. But the new school WC approach leaves it surprisingly dangerously low in bitterness.
