First, we tweaked the recipe for a crisp, clean flavour and refreshing IPA bitterness. Next, we wrapped it in bold new green and navy branding and simplified the name. Finally, we put that tasty brew in a can! Hoppy Boy IPA is a shipload of hops packed with citrus notes a nautical mile long.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy orange gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, ecru head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Mild fruity aroma of bready pale malt, orange, mango and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of biscuity pale malt, grapefruit pith, mango, peach and pine resin in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Refreshing and easy to drink.

Flight at brewery. Pours cloudy golden yellow. Aroma has some citrus, pine, and some heavier notes.Flavour is juicy with citrus, pine, and some warm malts; more like a British IPA. Drinkable but pretty basic.

Tap @ the brewery. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are bitter hops, fruits, flowers and malt. Nice long bitter finish.

Pours a hazy amber from a bottle with some green-brown sediment. Nice tropical fruit aroma, dank hops. Similar flavor with some malt backbone. Pretty good beer.
