This is Divide & Conquer, our fearlessly hop forward New England Pale that's as smooth as it is striking – and never one to be underestimated. Expect dramatic waves of juiciness and a haze that won’t quit. Brace yourself for a charge of Mosaic and Simcoe, delivering notes of pineapple, passionfruit and pine.

Can from the Maypole, Cambridge. Very dark brown, only slightly translucent. Nice creamy beige/tan head on top. Aroma is... strangely muted for a BIPA. Some light grassy hop infused with liquorice. Taste is a different kettle of fish indeed. Strong sweet liquorice, Malteasers, mid 90s European bus station coffee with evaporated milk. A bit more hoppy toward the bitterness-led finish but this beer is admirably reigned in. I’ve had better BIPAs but it’s certainly enjoyable.

BIPA heaven! Pure class.
Black color with a fine beige head. Nice lacing. Nice aroma with a fine intensity. Medium to full body with a smooth nice carbonation. Easy to drink. Solid balance between sweetness and bitterness. Chocolate, grapefruit hoppy, some roast, coffee, pine and tropical fruity. Nice balanced complexity. One more please!

Dark ruby-brown color, good cream beige head and lace. Aroma has licorice and grassyness. Medium-bodied. Quite licorice-coffee toasted backbone, citrusy hoppyness. Well in balance, finish is a bit watery. Classic-style CDA.
