The opposite of fruity and soft, this West Coast style IPA is earthy and piney with a slap in the face bitterness.
Styrian Cardinal from Slovenia bring subtle floral tones, paired with Centennial and Columbus for that earthy hit and sharp pithy edge

On tap at Xylo, Margate on 19th July 2021. Slightly hazy amber with shallow off-white foam and scant lacing. Zesty aroma with spicy fruitiness. Citrus zest, a touch of smoke and intense bitterness in-mouth, with a peppery transient.. Spicy and exquisitely bitter finish. Smooth mouthfeel and plenty of body. Utterly exquisite.

Pours a hazy golden amber colour with a small white head that settled. The aroma is floral and fruity, stone fruit and sweet herby hops. A moderately sweet and bitter taste, sweet malts and lots of hoppy bitterness. Nice.
