Every now and then a brewer has to have a look around the cold store and see what Hops they have in more excess than others and plans a beer around that, a lot of breweries call these kitchen sink beers, we've called ours a Happy Little Accident. Turns out our abundance of hops was a solid bill of Idaho 7, Mosaic, Columbus, Amarillo and Centennial, some great American hops that provide the backbone for a really classic IPA, but when you pair it with London Ale 3 you get a bit of extra juicy flavour that we really love here at S43.

Can consumed on same day as BBE date. Hazy orange pour with small white head. Aroma of weed, orange squash, peach, pine. Taste starts pine resin upfront unusually then fruitiness comes in with orange and peach notable again, sharp finish. Medium bodied, slight chewiness, zingy carbonation. Good but not great.

Large foamy white head left a froth on a hazy dark golden body. Mango, pineapple & cereal aroma. Medium bodied, soft on the tongue with a sharp clean back. Mango, peach & marmalade tastes with bitter, hopped up pine finish. Very nice - Like a West Coast/East Coast.

Can from The Beerhive. Murky golden/orange body with an off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange sherbet, pine and dried mango. Flavour of orange and boozy peach with a lemony edge. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Punchy and full flavoured.
