Three kilos of hops and forty kilos of barley selflessly give their lives to brew every barrel of this beer. It’s a lot to ask, but their reincarnation as this life-affirming IPA makes their sacrifice worthwhile.
A ballsy, US style IPA, expect flavours of tropical & citrus fruits, with a lingering bitterness set against a smooth malty backbone.

Hazy IPA (though only typified as ‘US style’ by the brewery), from tap at Bar Beenhouwer. Snow white, creamy, firm, medium sized, membrane-lacing head on a hazy straw blonde robe with somewhat greenish tinge. Aroma of lime zest, starfruit, guava, meringue, unripe pineapple, lemonbalm, grapefruit peel, touch sweet onion, freshly cut grass. Sweetish-fruity onset with light sourish undertone, guava- and lime-like accents, green mango, fizzily carbonated with smooth, slick and supple body. Aromatic hoppiness of course – starfruit, guava, lime zest, touch lychee, deeply penetrating a slender pale maltiness and leaving a mild peppery bitterness behind, along with something powdery (no hop burn though). Nicely streamlined New England-ish IPA.

Can, small stable bubbly head, hazy lightish orange colour, grapefruit, tropical and white fruit, some flowers, medium mellow citrusy bitterness, light noticable sweetness, lemony aftertaste. Nice and drinkable.

Can. Pours a rather clear gold. Quite a big frothy head. Aroma is very zesty and fruity, lots of citrus. Medium body. Flavour is malty, quite sweet, super zesty, lots of lemon and lime. Refreshing and very solid.
