Festive IPA. 2019 recipe is at 6%.
2020 version known as Hoppy Xmas. Later version (2024) as Hoppy Christmas. Buckle up for this seasonal Simcoe sled ride. A fruity festive fellow that delivers an all out Blitzen of Citrus flavour by the sack load. Citrus and tropical fruits on the Red nose. Tangy citrus, papaya and pineapple Dancer across the palate. All resting on a firm malty under carriage. A happy but bitter end waits.
Hoppy Christmas - don't keep the receipt.

Can, 6.0%. Good hoppy aroma, fruit and mild citrus. Cloudy golden colour. Good stable white head. The flavour starts off malty with a distinct bitterness, clean but rough. Later there is a mild citrussy hop note. Clean finish. 737315

Quite nice, but there is no Christmas taste - golden, clear pour. Aromas of grain, yellow/citrus fruits, light pine. Tastes: fruit citrus, lemon, hoppy - well carbonated. Bitter, but pleasant finish.
