DDH IPA WITH VIC SECRET & CITRA Having lived on a small island for a number of years, our two founders still love to travel between far away and far-flung micro-communities. How better to soak up the local climate than sitting on a pebble shore and watching the waves come and go with a beer in hand. This is a big IPA to remind us of both our roots and past adventures; generously dry hopped (twice) with Australian Vic Secret and US Citra.
