We changed tack slightly with our new IPA, looking for more body and intensity of flavour we used a 100% Vienna Malt base to give the beer a biscuity malt backbone. We then got thoroughly sinful with an outrageous hopping schedule featuring a scandalous combination of tropically fruity US hops. mango, papaya, guava, grapefruit & citrus combine for a wickedly juicy flavour filled experience & a fiendishly moreish bitterness full of Villainous intent.

Sampled draft @ Borefts 2014. Thank you! Amber, dark orange, creamy head. Light resin, pine, served too cold. Taste is oily resin, cold grapefruit peel, bitter, strong bitterness, light herbal. Agreeable but not stellar.

Tap @ Borefts 2014, small sample. Almost clear amber color, short head. Aroma of pine and grapefruit, but with quite a load of biscuity and cookie malt. Also cookie sweetness in taste, together with medium bitterness. The vienna adds just the perfect malt base for the bold IPA that magic rock usually makes. Outstanding IPA.
