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.

Can from Drinkmonger. Hazy golden body with a white head. Steady carbonation. Aroma of mango, orange pith and melon. Flavour of resin, pine and dried mango. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Piney and creamy. Nice.

Draft. An unclear golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of citrus fruits, hops, spices, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of lemons, spices, straw, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Tap at Siren, 9th June 18. Pours a hazy yellow. Aroma is citrus and pine, needles and resin. Taste is grapefruit, spikey bitter citrus, lots of pine, long bitter pine finish. Lovely fresh IPA
