The flying pig, rumoured to inhabit Cascadia, soars with the grace and style of a small bathtub shot from a cannon. This IPL may be eminently smoother but, as an IPA brewed like a lager, it’s just as rare.

Hazy gold, fast fading white head, scarce bead. A poor looking beer. Musty hop nose. Light citrus start(lemon) neutral mid, slightly tart. Medium hop finish

650mL bottle, split 6 ways, pours pale straw yellow with a small white head. Aroma of hay, citrus hops and sweet cereal. Flavour of piney hops, sweet cereal malts and straw. Not bad, but I'd prefer an IPA to an IPL - the lager yeast doesn't work so well to me.
