Vice Rookie is a celebration of everything that comes naturally to us as a brew team – we’ve always trod along our pale and hoppy route, so why not go for an IPA? Sure. Around the 6% mark? That golden ABV where things aren’t stupidly strong, but hold enough mouthfeel and flavour intensity to brush shoulders with the bigger boys? Absolutely. Pyramid dry-hopped and wrapped up in a warming embrace of our bespoke LA3 house yeast strain? Now you’re talking. Featuring gradually cascading additions of Citra, Centennial, and a final flourish of Galaxy for good measure, this beer positively blossoms with freshly cut citrus fruits, tropical notes a-plenty, and just the faintest hint of grassy bitterness to honour those breweries without whom we wouldn’t exist as a brewery today.

Very hazy pale yellow colour, minimal creamy snow-white head; aroma of dried papaya, mango, pineapple, some peach, celery and orange (peel) notes; taste has similar notes to the aroma with some hoppy bitterness; correct one

0.44l can many thanks to Lore. Hazy pale yellow body with a white head. Aroma and taste of pineapple, goose berries, grape seed, sugar syrup and oats. Fruity NEIPA. Nice one.
