Belgian IPA
If IPA and Belgian Blonde had a lovechild. Glowing golden blonde ale, fermented with Belgian yeast and then hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Simcoe and NZ Cascade. Subtle floral, fruit and spice notes blend seamlessly with Sauvignon Blanc grape, fresh citrus and pine aromatics in a beer with juicy malt sweetness and balanced bitterness. You can have it all.

Can. Misted golden amber with a near cm of dense packed white head. Aroma of spiced dough, citrus and tropical fruit. The fruity hops are more expansive upon a taste and a fair swap for the sheer punch of Houblon Chouffe (which I happened to revisit last week)- first grapes and citrus, then tropical fruit, then pine needles. It unfolds very nicely before a fairly bitter spicy finish. Very good.
