The beer formerly known as Bomber" makes its grand return!

We couldn't possibly just let go of such a cracking IPA, so it's got a shiny new name and label but still the same wonderful tropical, juicy hop flavour we all know and love. It sits perfectly alongside Brave New World as two examples of the way we like our IPAs.

Malt: Golden Promise
Hops: Motueka, Mosaic

Bouteille, partagée avec la BXL tasting crew, merci Pierre T. BB 01/12/2017, batch# 000340. Dorée, col blanc. Arôme au nez fin relent de chocolat blanc, grains en rétro avec un accompagnement de tropical et fruits à noyaux avec fresh cut grass et mandarine. Palais au profil de grains, assez sec, malt pâle et pils, thé vert avec fini terreux, qcq agrumes et tropical sur une petite touche herbacee et epicee. Herbace en retro qui tranche avec de belles notes de mandarines. Niveau malt, on est dans une approche anglaise avec l’ajout un peu tropical en rétro.
