Bursting with bold tropical flavours of grapefruit, passion fruit, apricot and peach, this unfiltered IPA, which takes its inspiration from the New England IPA style, is an attack on the senses. A carefully chosen hop blend provides an intense citrus aroma while adding a well-balanced yet mild bitterness. Malts are combined to deliver a smooth mouthfeel.

Bottle from Vrutak. Murky dark golden-amber, white head - medium retention, low flowery soapy note, very interesting, that goes away, and leaves a light peachy note. sometimes perfumey. Light peachy hoppy taste, bitterish-tart in the finish. Bit too dry and light, but very muich a nice beer. Nice little IPA, not quite NE IPA, but closer than many outright tries.
