Winner of FIVE Great American Beer Festival medals, three of them gold, including our 2023 award for American Strong Pale Ale! Plus a 2024 World Beer Cup bronze medal for American-Style Strong Pale Ale! Our drier, decidedly “tropical” IPA that’s light on bitterness, but heavy on hop aroma, courtesy of 100% Mosaic hops. One whiff and you get super intense notes of passion fruit, mango, and lychee. Grain bill of just American two-row malt and a clean fermentation keep it simple and allow these hops to shine.

Tap. Unclear golden color with white head. Aroma is tropical fruits, biscuity, grassy, a touch sweaty. Taste is the same. Well-made!

Pint can pours with a near clear gold body that supports a thin white head of foam. The aroma offers up loads of inviting tangelo and clementine and then some cantaloupe blended with a thin tangy tangerine note. The taste is straight up citrus hop flavor juiciness. I get tangelo, orange, nectarine and then thin soft cantaloupe leading into a flash of lime. Into the finish a modest level of oat is noticed mingling with lingering lime and tangelo. Nice. Really nice.

Can shared in Hackney - thanks to Gabi&Ryan. Pours totally clear gold with a small, creamy white head. Juicy snout, melon, peach, a little dank pine, passion fruit. Light to medium sweet flavour with nice pale bread ballast, more peach, light hay, tangerine, mild rindy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with more juicy topical fruits, cat pee, pine needles, melon, more peach. Delectable.
