Rather than spending the prize on ourselves, we decided to brew a beer for beer fans. That's where you came in - voting for style, strength, flavour and appearance of the beer that would be brewed especially. The winning combo was a 5%-6%, Hazy IPA with Citrusy and Zesty flavours.
A winning single hop IPA overflowing with bold aromas and flavours. Hefty doses of Citra usher in bright citrus fruit aromas. Vibrant grapefruit, lemon and mandarin flavours are tempered by the addition of oats to produce a soft mouthfeel. A sensory overload built upon the foundation of Northern Monk’s distinctive house yeast strain. Deliciously fruity, unashamedly hazy, and a true collaborative effort – the race to finish your can won’t last long.

Huge creamy white head sat on a hazy light orange coloured, still body. Zesty orange, sweet citrus & tropical fruits aroma. Medium bodied, nicely balanced carbonation on the palate, slightly cloying on the back. A big hit of bitter/sweet orange with citrus, topical fruits & haribos tastes. Nice one.

Can shared at the chriso and Ruth pre GBBF Tasting, 2017 Saturday edition. Cheers! Pours cloudy pale yellow with a creamy, white head. Nice aroma, rife with lemon, peach, grapefruit and melon. Light sweet flavour, with some bitter lemon rind and grass, dry pale malts, further citrus. Light to medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Finishes with light resin, more peach, citrus rind. Good, highly drinkable hop juice.
