The flavour and aroma of Citra, Centennial, Chinook and Simcoe hops prevail without excessive bitterness for maximum drinkability. Malt sweetness of Pale Ale, Crystal Carafoam and Wheat Flakes in the background complements the hops for a crisp finish.

Hazy orange pour, fluffy white head. Great citrus fruit aroma. All hops, no malts, and some pithy bitterness. Solid mouth feel, very active carb. The finish is quite bitter, a nice grapefruit pith bitterness. Loads of citrus, and some soapy pine resins. A great beer. But I would classify it as an IPA, not an apa.

Can from Cotteridge Wines; hazy golden amber pour with a bubbly white head, aroma has citrus and peach, taste has bitter grapefruit, some tangerine, robust malts, good to drink a beer that’s not scared to be bitter
