Replacing our single hops series, this series of IPAs will allow out brew team to experiment with hops, with the base beer unchanging from release to release.
New US experimental hop HBC 438 brings bags of floral and coconut character to this vibrant IPA, while stonefruit and citrus come courtesy of classic American dual purpose varieties. A twist of bitterness rounds out this engaging experimental IPA.

Can from BrewDog BottleBox [220718]
Golden, light haze, bubbly white head
Aroma of soft lemon, soft hop resins, soft nose that dissipated
Taste of citrus zest, soft lemon, light hop resin, hint of orange, light sweet pale malts, fairly bitter hops. Flavour rather muted for abv.
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, bit oily. Finish a bit dry, soft citrus zest, more bitter in the linger.
Overall - Rather bland flavour, not that impressed
