There’s a point on every kite that’s critical to get right. It’s called the “Bridle Point.” It’s where the tow string connects to the kite. Misplacing that point by one inch can make all the difference when trying to get lift. But when you nail it, that thing soars. That’s what the addition of refreshing acidity from our iconic Wood Cellar does to this hazy IPA. It pushes all those juicy fruity qualities forward and adds a flash of refreshing acidity that truly elevates this hazy IPA to new levels. We’ve been dry-hopping sours for over a decade and just couldn’t resist the opportunity to apply that knowledge to a fruit-forward, hazy IPA. We think you’ll like the result.

(Can) Golden colour, slightly hazy, with frothy white head. Fruity nose with passionfruit, mango, pineapple, citrus peel and herbs. Fruity, slightly tart taste with notes of passionfruit, mango, pineapple, citrus peel, white bread and a fairly low citric/herbal bitterness in a finish with a mild woody acidity. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Fruity, with a refreshing acidity. Very nice.
