Not everyone knows what they want in an IPA beer, so we created the Sea Buckthorn IPA that has a little something for everyone. The original recipe used Sea Buckthorn berries that were grown in Balzac. They are bright orange in color and tart on the tongue. When you first pour this Ale, through the eyes you will see a straw-like yellow in color. To the nose, you'll breathe in a hint of passionfruit and citrus notes. But more importantly, when you taste it on the tongue you'll gather the ease of Citra hops, the light tangy acidity from the rind of the berry as well as the stem, and a heavy feeling of refresh at the end. Since the berry thrives in all seasons this beer is perfect for summer AND winter.

473ml can. Pours a hazy amber orange with a small, foamy, short lived, off-white head that laces. Aroma of bready wheat malt, orange, floral and herbal hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, tangerine, peach, cantaloupe and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. No idea what a sea buckthorn is, but this is malt forward and has an English IPA vibe to it.
