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

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Jumbo Wageningen. Hazy pale yellow with a white head. Grapefruit and pineapple aroma with some pine as well. Also some light malts in the aroma. Taste is properly bitter but still manageable quaffable. Great IPA.

Good foam very white and slight cloud on yellow with modest carbonation. Nice apricot on the nose, sweet and sugary but not excessive. Flavour is nice apricot with a bit of a malty back end. Medium finish not too sharp. Nice and very English style to this.
