An extra IPA that will take you on an Intergalactic joyride. This India Pale Ale hits you with a blast of hop aromas in the nose like passion fruit and lemon that gradually develops into pineapple and orange split ice lolly notes. Flavours of candied fruit, grapefruit and orange peel add to this interplanetary taste adventure which culminates in a bitter hoppy refreshing finish.

Can. Hazy gold beer, small cream colour head. Light palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a modest sweetness. Reasonable orangery hops, trace of fresh orange and orange peel. Light pine and a mildly bitter finish. Pretty standard stuff but perfectly drinkable.
