Brewed with our old friends from NMBCo, and our new friends from Verdant and Deya, this IPA features Chinook, and a prominent, aromatic, and complex maltiness from a touch of Munich and Château Arome malts in the grist. A power outage shut us down mid brew, but rapid service and repair saved the day and got us back up and running in time to finish brewing.

440ml can. Murky orange colour with a large thick frothy off-white head. Aroma: herbal/floral hops, melon, grape, vague stone fruit, malts, yeast. Taste: melon, grape, malts, general fruity and herbal notes, green hops. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel, almost flat carbonation. With 4 of my top 5 UK breweries collab’ing on this I had very high expectations... it’s an excellent beer, a little green though.
