Our signature brew and first ever beer, we have brewed it with every brewery we’ve worked with. It now has its home at the Great Yorkshire Brewery. Looks like a wheat beer, tastes like an IPA. Our flagship brew - a hybrid style beer rarely seen in the UK. It has a high percentage of malted wheat which when combined with the generous amount of Citra T90s (added as a dry hop post fermentation) gives a beautifully light and citrusy flavour and aroma. Hibernation is unfiltered, unfined and unpasteurised for great taste and at 5.2% it packs the punch that customers expect of an IPA. We have lowered the front end bitterness to put greater emphasis on drinkability and allow the great aroma and flavour of this beer to really shine.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Kris Wines. Pours mostly clear, yellow-gold with a rich, pure white foam head. The nose has pale bread, a bit of zesty lemon, some straw. Medium sweet flavor, well balanced, with moderate bitter straw, some crisp biscuits, citrusy hops, some tangerine and lemon, light rindy bitterness. Light bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Well balanced on the finish with more biscuity sweetness, light bitter straw and lemon rind, slight cereal, hay. Solid beer. Very drinkable. Nicely done.

Bottle from Cornelius. Hazy pale golden body with a thick white head. Steady carbonation. Nice lacing. Aroma of straw, lemon and a whiff of cannabis. Flavour of lime, white bread and wheat. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily mouthfeel. Light carbonation. A soft, easy drinking IPA.
