Inspired by the custom vans of 70’s California that used to ride up and down the coast.

Mountains of Mosaic, Azacca and Ekuanot go into this King of the Road! It is a bright DDH (double dry hopped) pale with huge spectrum of hop flavour. From dank undertones to fruity dark berries with citrus and pineapple top notes, it is a mighty hop forward beer.

Keg at Waterloo Tap. Juicy stone fruit aroma. Hazy pale gold. Thin creamy translucent white head. Light sour stone fruit. A touch of bitterness. Some underlying fruit sugar. Medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Abrupt. I wouldn't choose to drink pineapple juice or similar so yeah....

On tap at The Bottle Shop Bermondsey. Hazy amber colour lasting white head. Some dank hop on aroma. More dank tropical fruit I'm the mouth. Decent enough fruit and some bitterness on the finish. But maybe the dankness reduces the fruit flavour. Good though.
