A classic IPA where tones with a modern choice of hops are well balanced with a malty backbone, your typical old school IPA. You can expect interesting tropical and stone fruit tones from the El Dorado hops, backed with Citra.
Origins of Hammerhead Brewing Company
The name “aviator” has its origin from when it all started back in 2007 in the US, where a young pilot student had a taste of the local craft brew in Florida, that would change his view of beer and eventually lead to the start of Hammerhead Brewing Company.

Can. Almost clear golden body under a nice white head. Aroma has malt, hint of caramel and some mature citric fruit. Taste is sweet malt, fruity hops and pleasant bitterness. Fine body and decent aftertaste. Decent old school IPA, nothing original besides that you doesn’t find many like this these days.

440ml can, #043, bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Shared with Finn. Bright golden-brown body, remaining pearl white head, spotty lacing. Moderate, mid-dry smell of herbal hops and earthy malts. Caramel-fruity flavours sustained by a backdrop of leafy hops. Mid-dry bittersweet ending. Medium bodied. Pleasing. (Tromsø 16.07.2020).
