We love the intensity of the citrusy and juicy IPA’s we’ve been brewing, but we wanted to take it up a bit for the warmer weather. So we added just a touch of tangerine and pineapple. We think the interplay of hops and citrus fruit is gorgeous and delicious.

Keg at 73 Enid Street, 24/10/19. Light haze on a golden amber pour with an off white cap that soon dissipates edgeward. Nose is orange zest, grass, airy malts, melon, mixed tropical fruit. Taste comprises tangerine, citric tinged straw, bitter orange, grapefruit zest. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with light juicy but assertive hop bitterness. Ok IPA.

Tap. Unclear amber color with white head. Aroma is grainy, herbal, grassy beer. Taste is grassy, herbal hops, grains, bready, toasted malts. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Alright.
