A strong, heavily hopped and robust IPA. Moderate bitterness, but intense aroma from new-season New Zealand Nelson Sauvin hops. This unique variety imparts a white wine fruitiness.

5th Sep 2012 and I’m in The Fighting Cocks, Oakengates: the only pub owned by the Ironbridge Brewery. This was one of their guest beers; I had a hand-pulled pint. Light amber body below a full head of white bubbles, looked fine. As the name suggests this is a hop orientated brew; although having tried some American ‘Hop Monsters’, this isn’t in the same league. No where near as bitter or aromatic, but still extremely hoppy for the UK. I am not a huge hop lover but this went down very nicely and I would have had another if I hadn’t been on a mission to try more beers on the night.
