A Hazy IPA with Citra, NZ Cascade, and Southern Cross.

"With BEAK from the UK we selected a beautiful hop combination of Citra, NZ Cascade, and Southern Cross to showcase the strong citrus aromas of each hop. Alongside the citrus, you can expect notes of dankness, mango, and other stone fruits, rounded out by a pleasant grassiness."

Chewy juicy and tropical fruity with some sweetness, hints of rubbery notes, citrus and grapefruit. Slightly unbalanced but still okay
