GREAT TREE is a West Coast IPA brewed with Andy and his merry ELUSIVE BREWING gang.

Plenty of crystal malts give the beer its red hue and toffee and caramel flavour. We then hop it with some big hitters; Simcoe, Amarillo, Centennial, Columbus, and Chinook for solid bitterness and aromas of orange peel and grapefruit. A little piney and dank too, beaut!

GREAT TREE, speak to me.

Can from The Beerhive. Hazy amber body with a beige head. Steady carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of fig and caramel. Flavour of blood orange, toffee and rust. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. A bittersweet beauty of an IPA. Loved this.

Can at home from the Elusive Fridge, on the garden. Pours a red copper brown, nice creamy head. Aroma is resinous pine, sticky malts. Taste is pine, resin, wood, caramel, sticky, bittersweet, I love a red IPA and this hits the spot

Can ordered from Elusive. Aroma is resinous and fruity. I can see why it was added as a Red IPA, it's a an opaque toffee brown. Thick fluffy off-white head. Medium bitter. Pine/resinous. Followed by a hint of caramelised fruit. Develops a sour almost vinous edge. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Doesn't overdo the bitterness a relaxed West IPA that admittedly also has a Red IPA gene in there.
