While the name may be slightly intense, you'll soon find that you have a love for this strata based DIPA. Opium is an evenly-balanced double IPA smashing flavours of sweet melon with juicy passionfruit.
As you'd imagine from a beer with an 8% ABV this DIPA gives you a euphoric hop burst thats uplifting yet also very mellow, the perfect combination for an easy drinking DIPA.
