With a mash of just Low-colour Maris Otter and Wheat malt and Hops including US Magnum, Calypso and Citra, this promises to be a hugely tropical brew with juicy hop flavours all over the place, all underpinned by the oily bitterness of the American Magnum.

Initial tasting from the fermenter revealed a massively fruity, juicy and "totally tropical" (can we say that? we just did...) character somewhat akin to mango juice cut with bitter grapefruit and a hint of melons; just the kind of thing we want to drink and a fitting use of some of our final Citra!

This has the potential to be one of our hoppiest brews in a while so, if you’re in the market for a pale beer with masses of fruity hops, look no further. The name, in case you’re ignorant of quality music, is yet another Joy Division track and here Northern post-punk melancholy meets upbeat fruity hops in a strange interpolation of mood; sombre yet hard nosed, the North in a glass!
