Brewed as an exclusive collaboration between Vocation Brewery and the members of Beer52. Just as you asked, we've used loads of Mosaic hops from West Coast USA, kept it to a sessionable strength, and given it a beautiful ruby red colour. Mosaic is known for its tropical fruit character, which we think works really well with the red maltiness of this beer. Thanks to James Harrison for naming this collaboration beer. Our beer is naturally hazy because filtering kills the flavour. Never pasteurised. Store cool & drink fresh.

Can from Beer52. Deep amber with a middling off-white head. Possibly a little too fizzy, although a nice frothy mouthfeel. Huge tropical fruit whiff, especially pineapple. More tropicalness in the flavour, with flowers, a spicy peppery kick and light pine following through. Some juicy chewy malt. Good balance of sweet and bitter with a dry finish. Lovely beer.

Can from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Dark amber with next to no head. Has quite a striking tropical fruitiness, a little sugary in its nose, and somewhat zesty in taste with citrus dominant and providing a fair bitterness to the ale. It tastes a little stronger than its alcohol content suggests.

Can. Little Leeds Beer House. Copper red. Soft haze. Filmy, blotchy, off white, sticky head. Nose has fruity, toffee malts. Candied fruit hop. Tinned pineapple. Bit of a curious, metallic thing. Taste is sweet, turning juicy bitter. Some dryness. Medium body. Earthy bitter finish. Decent. Didn’t like the metallic thing, though.
