A beautifully sessionable IPA brewed with pure Slovenian Hops, a well rounded bitterness from the hops that have a mellow tropical and herbal flavour with aromas of tropical fruit. The hops from this beer are grown on my friends farm, they actively seek perfection and we feel the quality shines through in this beer.
