After his impressive début at our 2011 spring real-ale festival, Brendan Varis, from Feral (Australia’s reigning champion brewery), has returned to brew another beer for us, this time collaborating with Banks’s Brewery, in the West Midlands. This impressive IPA is brimming with recently released Australian-grown-and-bred hop varieties, providing an intense tropical fruit aroma and flavours of pineapple, mango and passion fruit.

Cask at the Claude du Vall (JDW), Camberley. Amber with a thin cream head; tropical fruit aroma; rich and almost buttery in the mouth with some tropical fruit and a resinous bitterness that lingers, leaving lots of resin in the mouth. Pretty good stuff.
