Mantra is designed to be super easy going and very refreshing whilst packing a hefty flavoursome punch. Simcoe and Mosaic join together to bring the tropical fire, thought it's heavy layers of Summit that really make Mantra. Signature waves of mandarin juice and resinous orange complete Mantra, and lead to a joyous bitter finish.

Can from Cask + Corks, Southampton. Golden with a head. Session pale ale and inoffensive with its citrus. There's also some strawberry involved, providing some sweetness to the brew.
