We’ve named our new brew after Jon Piper’s older cousin - ’Henry’ who plied his shipbuilding trade from his Cockle Creek shipyardyard (Daley’s Point) between 1844 and 1854. Our new English IPA delivers a robust malt punch with caramel malt added to the munich/pale malt base. This is followed up with generous kettle additions of two of the ‘best of British’ hops; ’Target’ and ’Challenger’. Unlike the fruity Americans, these hops possess more subtle, earthy-sweet tones. With further fermenter additions of the Challenger hops, the final result is a brew which balances hoppiness and sweetness with a bitterness that’s deep and quenching.

On tap at Six String, pours a hazy dark amber with a medium beige head. Aroma is light on the hops, with bready malt. Flavour is quite light on the hops for an IPA, seeming more like an English IPA, with caramel malts and bready notes. Very light hop resins. Not very exciting, but it's drinkable.
