Hopheads crusade on a heroic quest for the holy grail of India Pale Ales.

Balanced in every detail and gushing resinous, exceptional citrus flavors and aromas that collaborate with soft bready notes surrendered from premium English golden malted barley, this beer is a tropical dreamscape. Epic.

12oz can thanks to Steveoj pours out golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice hops pine citrus some light bread malt. Taste is more of the nice light malts and a good hop kick. Also the lable is awsome.

12 oz can from Tavour. The artwork alone gets this beer points. Medium golden with small soft head. Aroma is fruity, like a tropical Lifesaver. Hops first on the palate, more tropical fruit trailing behind. A bit if a dry finish.
