Our flagship IPA won best beer on show at the 2011, 2012 and 2014 Cape Town Festival of Beer, the 2014 Johannesburg Festival of Beer – and was the winner of the 2014 SAB Craft Brewer Championship. Enjoy our take on this iconic style.

Aroma: A prominent to hop aroma with a citrusy, floral, resinous, piney, and passion fruit character derived from the American hops. It has been dry hopped to add aroma. Some clean malty sweetness may be found in the background, but is a lot lower level than in English examples.

Appearance: Color is medium gold. It is almost clear, which is achieved through fining. Good head with white to off-white color should persist.

Flavour: Hop flavour is medium-high and will reflect typical American hop characters with citrusy, floral, resinous, piney and passion fruit aspects. Medium-high hop bitterness is present, although the malt backbone will support the strong hop character and provide for good balance. Medium-dry to dry finish.

Mouthfeel: Smooth medium-bodied mouthfeel without hop-derived astringency, although moderate carbonation can combine to render an overall dry sensation in the presence of malt sweetness.

Overall Impression: A decidedly hoppy and bitter, moderately strong American India Pale Ale.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is fruity hop with grapefruit, citrus, biscuity pale malt, some grassy notes and a hint of pine. Flavour is moderate to medium bitter, finishes a bit dry. Medium body. Bright and easy IPA.

Fles gedeeld door Inoven. Het is een troebel oranje bier met weinig tot geen schuim. Het heeft een grapefruit en biscuit achtige geur. De smaak is fruitig, hoppig en vreemd biscuit achtig.
