Kua Bay IPA is a bright, bold, copper-colored India Pale Ale. Piney hops, spices, and a subtle caramel maltiness make it a delicious beer that’s both full-bodied and flavorful.

Pours clear amber with a nice white head. Aroma of fruity hops. Taste is malty and overlaid by sharp hop notes. Palate of woody notes as well as lightly tropical notes. Nice IPA.

12 Fl Oz bottle on 27th Feb 2019, drank in California. Slight haze to the amber body, thin white top. Good malty base to this hoppy IPA, resin and piney hop profile which I prefer to the 'now popular' citrus flavoured IPA's. Really enjoyed this.

On tap at Artistic Table. It pours a clear gold color with an off white head. The aroma is floral, fruity with peach, mango and some toasted/caramel malt and only hints of florals. Medium floral bitterness. Sweet caramel finish. Meh.

Golden-amber, thin head. Earthy, chewy strong IPA, a lot of chewy strong character maybe not enough brightness.
