This IPA was brewed with acidified malt and sea salt, the balance of the two provides a complex and refreshing flavour profile. We hit it with a heavy dry hop addition of Citra, Motueka and Mandarina Bavaria. This one is by far one of our favourites in this series because of its insanely juicy yet very refreshing profile.

473ml can. Pours a hazy gold yellow with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of grainy wheat malt, lemon peel, orange, peach, tangerine and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, tangerine, orange, peach, salt and light piney hops in a dry, tart, mild bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Juicy, refreshing and easy to put back.

2020-03-14, draught at the brewery, 7-3-7-3-14=34 Cloudy pale blond colour. Light aroma of lactic acid and fruity hops. Lean body, bit of sugar, with light acidity, fruity hops, stone fruit, quite salty; it's a bit flat in the finish. 2018-12-22, draught at the brewery, 7-3-7-3-14=34 Fresh fruit aroma. Juicy hops, but no structure from the malt, and weak finish. A bit disappointing. 2018-03-10, draught at the brewery, 6-3-7-3-13=32 Murky pale blond color. No tartness, strong salt, lean mouthfeel, no malt and little hop to talk about, maybe some bread and light fruit. Ok, not impressive.

Poured from the tap. Cloudy gold with white head. Subdued yet juicy grapefruit and pine hops. Interestingly balanced and refreshing.

16oz can pours a lightly hazy orange with some sudsy, sticky white head. Nose is nice, there's some salinity, like an oyster with some lemon over the top, more traditional perfume, lemon balm, light candy. Flavor is actually better, there's a bit of malt and candy, there's some salty note, orange, soap, herbs. Finishes mostly full bodied. At first I thought 6.7% was too much, but then I started to think the alcohol added a needed body.

Can: Poured a pale yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with OK retention with some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops with light tart notes with some subtle salty notes. Taste is a fantastic mix of light salty notes with some tart notes and floral citrusy notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. I wasn’t sure the mix of flavours would work great but it was actually a great mix with great balance.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours a cloudy opaque yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of piney hops, pithy stone fruits, and light resins. Flavour is very fruity, with heaps of tropical stone fruits, lots of pith, loads of piney hops and just enough lightly sweet biscuity malt. Good balance between the fruitiness and hoppiness. Another great IPA from these guys.

Cloudy with a thin head. Lots of dank, slightly fruity hops on the nose. Light bitterness, tons of weedy hop character. Full body, bit yeasty. One of their best so far.
