THE JOURNEY - Our first DIPA was released in early 2019, our first beer to mark a whole new and fresh direction for our brewing philosophy. Weve learned a lot since that first brew and for our next DIPA, we wanted to showcase two of brewings most flavour intense hops, Citra and Mosaic, for a modern, boozy hop trip. Complimented with lots of oats and wheat the tropical filled pairing of Citra & Mosaic is exactly what we drool for, in a thick, hoppy DIPA.

10th April 2020 Can. Light haze on this orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate starts smooth but has a good fine minerally crispness on the back end. Light but nicely sweet malts support a very good hop profile. Crisp pine overlays a juicy citrus and light supporting tropical fruits. Mango in there and a touch of guava. Resinous peel on the finish with a mild and nibbly hop spice. Good stuff, very good.
