BAD Co X SALT Beer Factory Collab - The New England IPA is a style that has taken on a few different forms since it’s introduction to the UK craft beer scene, and so with ‘The Leafer’ we wanted to take it right back to it’s glorious roots, and that is just what we have done.
The colour is beautifully opaque and hazy - it could almost be mistaken for orange juice to the uninitiated, but that is where the comparison stops. The aroma is a huge face melting barrage of hops, and the mouthfeel is beautifully smooth and mouth coating. As for the flavour... what can we say? It is the perfect showcase of Nelson Sauvin, Citra and El dorado. Intense passion fruit and citrus explode upon the palate leaving a long, delicious aftertaste

Pours unclear orangeblonde. Small white head. Smell is mild, orange. Taste is fairly full, tad soapy. Midlly bitter. Some orange, some citrus. OK, but far from briliant.
