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

330ml bottle. Hazy golden with a thin mostly dissipating white head. Light tropical fruit aroma, mango, passionfruit, grape. Taste of citrus and tropical fruits, lemon, passionfruit, mango, grapefruit, orange, light malts, moderate bitter finish. Medium bodied, average carbonation. This is better than Brave New World in my opinion.
