Imagine a galaxy far, far away. Now think of multiple galaxies merging and colliding, producing explosive starburst events. That’s big!
We couldn’t think of a more apt metaphor as we tested the limits of our mash tun and the patience of our accountant to craft our biggest, juiciest, most flavourful New England IPA to date.
Starburst weighs in an astronomical 9.5%, but floats on your tongue like a regular haze bomb. The thickness of the body will send your tongue into zero gravity and the hop bill of 100% Galaxy hops will send your taste buds into orbit. It radiates passionfruit, cantaloupe, lychee, and candied orange and continues to transmit wave after wave of aromas towards your nose, even once the glass is empty. It’s our shining star. And it tastes out of this world.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy pale yellow-orange with yeast particles in suspension and a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves soapy lacing. Sweet fruity aroma of bready pale malt, orange, tangerine, passion fruit, mango, peach and earthy yeast. Sweet fruity flavour of bready pale malt, orange, grapefruit, tangerine, mango, papaya, passion fruit, peach, nectarine and earthy yeast in a dry, bitter, hoppy finish. Medium to full body with a sticky, pillowy soft texture and soft carbonation. Juicy and delicious. ABV is well hidden, making this dangerously easy to drink.
