The first beer in our 25th anniversary series, this re-imagined version of our classic Hoppelganger IPA is double dry-hopped with Galaxy, Citra, and Lemondrop to provide notes of lemon, grapefruit, and passionfruit. Hoppelganger's crisp and dry finish is followed by a mild hop bitterness.

Dark straw colour with a slight haze. Earthy hop aroma with apricot notes, honey. The body is fresh and juicy, though some diacetyl creeps in to detract from that. Honeyish malts with a faint hint of toast balance with moderately bitter, earthy hops. The Style Police says that these days, this beer would be more of an APA, but they’ll let it slide because it’s quite well made.

Gives the full cascade hop effects with a grapefruity nose, a juicy hoppy center with the additions of apples and peaches and then ending bold and bitter!
