"International" collaborations like this don't come along very often, but when they do, someone's supply of hops usually gets rinsed! Brewed with ALL of Arbor's hops, this IPA is big on flavour and almost too sessionable.

Bottled. Amber colour with a small white foamy head. Aroma is tropical fruits, sweet malts as well as some cookies and mild grass. Flavour is zest, tropical fruits, sweet malts, some slight fudge and a bit resiny notes too. Refreshing, and quite nicely bodied.

330ml bottle from Ales by Mail

BBE 01.04.16 - Pours orange with a foamy white head. Aroma of orange peel, citrus, grapefruit, lemon, hops, grass and malts. Taste is juicy, citrusy and lemony with some mandarin pith, orange juice and pine. Finish is smooth, malty and juicy with some sweetish fruity notes, orange and pine. Pretty good, but not super fresh anymore unfortunately.
