Our Big Eye IPA is a big hoppy brew, thanks to the abundance of American Columbus and Centennial varieties we use to flavor and dry hop. While the English originally added extra hops to preserve their beers for sea travel, we do it for the love of all that bold, intense flavor that makes India Pale Ale one of our favorite styles.

355 ml bottle from AEON Liquors @ Jiyugaoka, Tokyo. Pours clear, amber-golden. Nice foamy head that stays well. Aroma has flowers, bubblegum, tropical fruits, some resins. Wonderful! Taste is surprisingly smooth with delicate hop flavours. Very refreshening! At first there is a lot of fruitiness, lemon seed bitterness at the end. Some resiny pine-needles in the middle. Truly nice IPA, very enjoyable.

På fat. Smak och doft av humle, malt, citrus, aning av persika, grapefrukt och karamell. Mycket frisk med tydlig beska av grapefrukt, tall med inslag av örter. Riktigt god APA.
