The beer formerly known as Bomber" makes its grand return!

We couldn't possibly just let go of such a cracking IPA, so it's got a shiny new name and label but still the same wonderful tropical, juicy hop flavour we all know and love. It sits perfectly alongside Brave New World as two examples of the way we like our IPAs.

Malt: Golden Promise
Hops: Motueka, Mosaic

Can 440ml (BGz, BB 10/2020)
Orange colour, small steady white head and some lace. Tropical fruits in the nose but unfortunately already some breadyness. Light-bodied. Tropical fruits, marmalade, apricot in the flavour. Mellow, not the most fresh anyhow (although only 2+ months old).

Bottle, 0.33l. Cloudy golden pour, one finger frothy white head, medium lasting. Good lacing on the glass. Pleasant on the nose, grassy hops and citruses, caramel malt in the background. Medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, nicely chewy, has some thickness to it. Medium to high bitterness, nicely balanced with mild malty sweet notes. Caramel malt, grassy hops, pine, citrus fruits. Herbal. Grainy. A bit spicy. Mild alcohol burn on the tongue, quite dry. Long finish, bitter and dry, slightly boozy. Pretty good IPA.
