Our take on this Goliath of a style is ‘Bugeye’. It breaks the barrier for our strongest beer to date, standing at 10.6% ABV. The hop prominence in the aroma and flavour is high, as Apollo & Mosaic usher a smack of citrus with strong hints of pineapple and less of grapefruit. The mashbill of pale ale and caramalt impart slight caramel notes which balances the powerful, resinous hops. It hits high bitterness levels reaching approximately 130 IBU’s, but the use of Belgian candy sugar in the boil subdues the high IBU count with a sweet, sherbert-like tang.
