A crisp pine forward Cold IPA that's light bodied and ultra-refreshing. Combining bright citrus notes with resinous pine and a hint of tropical fruit. It finishes clean and dry, delivering clarity, bite and vibrant flavour from first sip to last.
Hops: Columbus, Chinook, Simcoe & Idaho 7.

No end of year snow for me yet. This one does have plenty of pine though, albeit with quite a dirty aftertaste attached.
