For this juicy IPA we threw an abundance of Citra and Simcoe hops in to a very oat-heavy brew. Pineapple, orange and mango dominate the aroma whilst juicy apricot, mandarin and ripe mango tackle the palate. Huge sappy flavours takes the lead into a long, piney finish.
===========================
The first brew was a collaboration with Siren Craft - the original amble: We all have heroes in life but it's not very often they come round your house to play on your brew kit. When Siren said they wanted to collaborate on a brew, we got to thinking what we loved about their beer and, after much arguing, we couldn't get past how consistently fantastic their core beers are. After much mumbling, we settled on a juicy IPA fermented on their house yeast. We threw lots of Citra, Simcoe, and Bravo at a very oat-heavy brew and this is the result. Pineapple, orange and mango dominate the aroma whilst juicy apricot, mandarin and ripe mango tackle the palate. Huge sappy flavours takes the lead into a long, piney finish.

Ferskenfarget. Uklar. Skum langs glasset. Aroma av laktose & fersken. Smaken som aromaen. Tilløp til ananas i ettersmaken. Avslutter litt tørt.

Tht may. Can, 2019. Says nothing of a Siren collab. Not really care, just saying, spread the love equally. Hazy pale golden with white head. Straw, hay, sweet tropical and moderate sweet and bitter. Medium body and soft carbonation.

Cloudy straw yellow colour, good frothy white head, half-way lasting, good lacing. Aroma pale malt, lemon, mango, pine. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, grainy, lemon, light grapefruit, pine and pine resin. Lingering dry bittersweet aftertaste, orange pith, chalky notes. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Less juicy than expected, overall a solid IPA.
