5-6% abv. Malted barley. Dry and light-bodied to better showcase the individuality of the hops in both aroma and flavour. A basic recipe is followed, with each batch utilising different hop varieties from around the world based on seasonality, availability, and the whims of the brewer

Bottle from Bottle Baron. Hazy orange body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of garlic, spring onion and mango. Flavour of lime, passionfruit, green vegetables and a bitter, tangy finish. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. Hoppy and easy drinking, but I could quite shake the onion comparison.
