West coast IPA with a typical bitterness forward character. Mosaic hops dominate the tastescape with hints of lychees, mango and pomelo, complimented by the clean bitterness of Magnum, while amber malts keep the fruity bitter balance throughout the aftertaste.

[9/25/15] Draught sample at Borefts Beer Festival 2015 in Bodegraven. Hazy golden. Nice overripe fruity hops aroma. Flavor has a bit of sweetish malt, and nice bitter fruity hops. Medium-bodied. Good stuff.
