Juicy IPA inspired by the Great Sugarloaf Mountain in Wicklow. Sugarloaf is dry hopped with a massive amount of juice forward hops, bursting with tropical, citrus and stone fruit flavours and aromas. This hazy IPA has a creamy mouthfeel with low bitterness that allows the hops to shine.

Very nice artistic tin. Pours with an initially massive head of 5cm but settles to a persistent 2cm quickly. Looks like a typical juicy. Nice fresh nose: floral, minty, peach, mango. Mouth doesn't match the promising nose however. Carbonation kind of covers everything up. Actually has fair body but hard to classify. Some exotics and mango come through, some spearmint on second tasting. Then herbal, pine. Had to tease out the favours but quite good. Would be a great session beer.

On tap at Bryggerifestivalen. It's an unclear golden-orange colored beer with a nice-looking finger-thick off-white head. Gentle fruity aroma with pine cones, grapefruit and a light maltyness. It's medium bodied and nicely carbonated, with a pleasant but gentle bitterness. Pale malts in the back of the flavor, some bready hints, with grapefruit and pine cones up front. Medium length finish. A refreshing one for sure. 240802

Draught at Bryggerifestivalen 2024, shared with yngwie. Hazy pale golden body, spotty lacing, declining white head. Passion fruity aromas with a floral touch, fresh and inviting. Peachy flavours added by grassy hops, soft malty backbone. Distant bitterness to a short tail. Satisfying. (Trondheim, 02.08.2024).

--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Hazy deep golden, small head. Huge aroma of overripe tangerine. Mid dry with light body and crisp, rounded mouthfeel. Dry and somewhat thin malt, notes of sawdust. Lots of tangerine. Mid bitter finish.
